For Suzuki, the invitation offers a chance to prove himself after being overlooked for the Four Nations Face-Off. The Canadiens captain has steadily elevated his game and will be eager to showcase his two-way abilities on the international stage.Montembeault, meanwhile, enters camp looking to strengthen his claim in Canada’s goaltending mix. While Adin Hill remains a strong competitor, Montembeault’s recent performance suggests he is not far behind.

The 28-year-old finished last season with 31 wins and a .902 save percentage, numbers that compare closely to Hill’s .906 save percentage. Dobson, who has quietly built a reputation as a reliable blueliner, will also have an opportunity to demonstrate his value against the country’s best.
