Nick Suzuki made the Colorado Avalanche dizzy on Saturday.

The Montreal Canadiens captain scored a spin-o-rama goal against the Avalanche during the second period at Bell Centre.

With the Avalanche up 2-0, Suzuki received the puck from teammate Juraj Slafkovsky in between two Avalanche defenseman in front of the net. He then spun around and backhanded the puck over the glove of Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood.

Slafkovsky had a speechless reaction to his captain's moves.

The goal cut the Avalanche’s lead and put the Canadiens on the scoreboard.

It was Suzuki’s eighth goal of the season.
