Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Three assists in AHL loss
Rotowire
Suzuki logged three assists in AHL Chicago's 7-6 loss to Texas on Sunday.
Suzuki has just one goal since the start of February, but he's added 10 assists in 12 contests in that span. For the season, he's at 10 goals and 33 helpers over 51 appearances. He's added a plus-18 rating, as the Wolves are having one of their better seasons with a hearty crop of prospects biding their time for a call-up to the Hurricanes.

Rotowire
Suzuki logged three assists in AHL Chicago's 7-6 overtime loss to Cleveland on Thursday.
Suzuki has four goals and eight assists during a seven-game point streak. That surge has him up to 30 points in 36 outings this season, though he continues to be heavy on playmaking for the second year in a row. The 24-year-old center hasn't been able to turn AHL success into a long look with the Hurricanes yet.

Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Nets two goals for Wolves
Rotowire
Suzuki scored twice in AHL Chicago's 5-2 win over Rockford on Saturday.
Suzuki had gone six games without a goal, though he had five assists in that span. The center is at six goals, 24 points and a plus-10 rating over 33 appearances this season. Suzuki's offense is a little worse than last year, when he had 59 points in 69 regular-season contests, so a call-up to the NHL doesn't seem likely any time soon.

Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Records three helpers Friday
Rotowire
Suzuki had three assists in AHL Chicago's 6-4 win over Milwaukee on Friday.
Suzuki hadn't logged a multi-point effort since Oct. 19. The 24-year-old is at just two goals and 13 points through 21 outings this season. Suzuki's never really gotten an extended look in the NHL after going 28th overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, and his drop in production this year won't help his case for a call-up.

Hurricanes' Ryan Suzuki: Closing in on return
Rotowire
Suzuki (shoulder) is expected to return to action soon as coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters Wednesday, "I think they're really close to playing, if not about to play," per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Given his extended absence, Suzuki could be in line for some minutes in the minors on a conditioning assignment, though Carolina doesn't currently have an AHL affiliate which will complicate matters. Eventually, once given the all-clear to suit up, Suzuki could challenge for a spot on the 23-man roster despite having yet to make his NHL debut.
