This speaks volumes about the recognition he's starting to get across the NHL, and it says a lot about his value.
Here's the relevant excerpt:
«I had heard about this story on Thursday, and I got the confirmation tonight, there are two players from the Canadiens who are part of the alternate list for Team Canada.
Nick Suzuki, no surprise, everyone agrees..
Mike Matheson! Yes, we had heard his name before the team selections, and now I'm being confirmed that he is one of the alternate players who could be used.»
