Nick Suzuki will return to where it all began for him. The Canadian forward, originally drafted by the Golden Knights, has been selected to participate in the All-Star Game, which will take place on February 5 in Las Vegas.

Suzuki is obviously the only chosen Canadian, who is not exactly full of stars in this atrocious season. Moreover, he himself does not present statistics that are generally worth an invitation. He has 19 points (7 goals, 12 assists) in 35 games and shows a differential of -15.
That said, every NHL team must send at least one representative to the game.
Suzuki will therefore be part of the Atlantic Division team. Remember that the star match is now a 3 vs. 3 game tournament, where each division forms a team. Here is the list of his teammates. Note that a player in each division will be added, according to the result of a vote held among the supporters. Tyler Toffoli is the Canadiens representative for this vote.
Note also that Suzuki will team up with Patrice Bergeron, a player he has always said he draws inspiration from.
