Top Cole Caufield News

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Helps on power play

    Caufield had a power-play assist, three shots on net and one hit over 17:21 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Caufield and Nick Suzuki played a game of catch along the side wall before Suzuki set up Sean Monahan for the Canadiens' third score. The assist snapped a 10-game drought without a power-play point for Caufield, who has nine points on the man-advantage unit through 25 games.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Back on top line

    Caufield had four shots on net over 20:24 of ice time in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    Caufield was reunited with Nick Suzuki on the top line, as head coach Martin St. Louis adjusted in the wake of Alex Newhook's ankle injury, which is expected to sideline him for 10-to-12 weeks. The first line opened with Caufield, Suzuki and Sean Monahan, but Montreal finished the game with Joel Armia in Monahan's spot.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Generates assist in loss

    Caufield had an assist, three shots on net and two penalty minutes in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Panthers.

    Caufield was the primary helper on Johnny Kovacevic's third-period goal that closed Florida's lead to 4-1. It was the fourth point in the last four games for Caufield, who is on a similar point pace as last season. The forward has 19 points in 23 games after posting 36 over 46 games in 2022-23. The one glaring difference is in goals. Caufield struck at a 16.5 shooting percentage last year but is down to 8.3 in 2023-24.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Lights lamp in win

    Caufield scored a goal on three shots over 14:37 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Columbus.

    Caufield beat three Blue Jackets to a loose puck in front of Elvis Merzlikins and batted home Montreal's second goal, helping the Canadiens end a five-game road trip on a positive note. There were some down moments during the trip -- lackluster efforts against Boston and LA stand out -- but there were positives to take away. The top three lines produced goals Wednesday, and Caufield found his scoring touch with two tallies on 10 shots over the final three games of the trip. The forward had lit the lamp just once over 12 games before scoring in wins over San Jose on Friday and the Jackets on Wednesday.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Snaps six-game goal drought

    Caufield scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks on Friday.

    Caufield ended a six-game goal drought with a third-period wrist shot from the right circle. It tied the game and ultimately forced overtime and the shootout. Caufield has just six goals this season, but he also has a whopping 80 shots. His 7.5 shooting percentage is well below his 12.9 career average, so expect the world to rebalance soon and for his goal totals to go up.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Back on second line

    Caufield had five shots on goal and two hits over 18:41 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Anaheim.

    After a one-game reunion with Nick Suzuki on the first line, Caufield shifted back to the second unit with Christian Dvorak and Juraj Slafkovsky against the Ducks. Coach Martin St. Louis has juggled the lines of late in an attempt to spread out the offense, but the bench boss also needs to unlock Caufield's scoring touch. The winger's gone six games without a goal and has just one tally over the last 12. He continues to work in a top-six role and get TOI on the first power-play unit, so scoring chances should be there for Caufield, who leads the Canadiens with 73 shots on goal.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Rejoins top line

    Caufield had three shots on goal and one hit over 15:30 of ice time in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

    Caufield and Nick Suzuki had been broken up the last several games, but Montreal's top two forwards were reunited Saturday. Head coach Martin St. Louis needs to find a way to unlock Caufield's scoring, as the Wisconsin native has just one goal over the last 11 games. Saturday's game was the second straight in which Caufield logged fewer then 16 minutes of ice time.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Provides late assist

    Caufield had an assist, one shot on goal and one hit over 15:52 of ice time in Thursday's 6-5 loss to Vegas.

    Caufield showed shot, drawing attention from goalie Adin Hill and Vegas defenders, before sliding a pass to Justin Barron for Montreal's final goal with 54 seconds left. While he was on the ice when Montreal was pressing for two goals in the final 72 seconds, Caufield had a significant reduction in TOI in the third period and finished the game with a season-low ice time. That may have been due to the ebbs and flows of the game, but it comes at a time when the forward is mired in a scoring slump (one goal in the last nine games). Travis Yost of TSN examined Caufield's scoring dip and advised not to panic, as he remains a high-end attacking forward. Yost provided deeper statistics that indicate Caufield is applying pressure and generating scoring chances but his shots simply haven't gone in lately.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Points in four straight

    Caufield logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal over 18:47 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win against Boston.

    Caufield picked up the secondary helper on Nick Suzuki's power-play goal 24 seconds into the third period. It was his fourth consecutive game with a point and third straight with a power-play point. Caufield leads the Canadiens with 14 points and 54 shots over 14 games.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Buries game-winner

    Caufield scored a power-play goal in overtime of Thursday's 3-2 win over Detroit. He added three shots on net and two hits to his line over 21:00 of ice time.

    Caufield finished matters when he was perfectly set up by Mike Matheson -- it was Caufield's first power-play goal since Opening Night and his third overtime strike overall, which snapped a five-game run without a goal. When not on the power play, Caufield skated on the second line, as Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis broke up the duo of Caufield and Nick Suzuki in search of sparking the team, which had lost four straight.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Helps on power play

    Caufield had a power-play assist, two shots on goal, one hit and two penalty minutes in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Caufield set up linemate Nick Suzuki for the Canadiens' first goal, igniting a mini rally before the Lightning put an end to it. The assist was Caufield's fifth on the power play and eighth overall. The winger leads the Habs with 12 points through 12 games.

    Caufield had an assist and seven shots on goal over 20:04 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 loss to St. Louis.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Generates helper

    Caufield logged an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.

    Caufield helped out on Nick Suzuki's game-tying goal in the third period. Through nine contests, Caufield has been held pointless just twice. The 22-year-old winger has four goals, six helpers, 37 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-4 rating in a top-line role with ample power-play time. He's showing no ill effects from the shoulder injury that ended his 2022-23 campaign prematurely, which is a great sign for those fantasy managers that were confident he'd bounce back this year.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Three points including OT winner

    Caufield scored the game-winning goal in overtime and added two power-play assists in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Blue Jackets.

    It was a huge night for the 22-year-old star, as he led the Canadiens with eight shots on net and made his last one count, snapping the puck top shelf past a screened Elvis Merzlikins inside the final minute of OT. Caufield has found the scoresheet in six of seven games to begin the season, racking up four goals and nine points including a goal and five points with the man advantage. The 15th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft appears to be on his way to a breakout campaign.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Back on point train

    Caufield picked up an assist, two shots on goal and one blocked shot over 18:33 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

    Like the rest of the people watching the game, Caufield marveled at Mike Matheson's end-to-end rush, Bobby Orr-style, that produced Montreal's second goal. Caufield was absent from the scoresheet for the first time this season in Monday's win at Buffalo, but the forward returned there one day later. He has three goals and three assists through six games.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Points in every game this season

    Caufield scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 overtime win over Washington on Saturday.

    Caufield went stick side from the left circle on Darcy Kuemper just 47 seconds into overtime to seal the win. The Wisconsin native has picked up at least a point (three goals, two assists) in every game this season. Caufield put up 26 goals last season in just 46 games, and he's firing shots at a greater rate to begin 2023-24. If he can stay healthy, Caufield has the potential to top 40 goals.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Puts Habs on top

    Caufield scored a goal on five shots over 16:32 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

It was the second straight game with a goal for Caufield. The sniper's picked up where he left off in 2022-23, when he scored 26 goals over 46 games.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Scores on power play

    Caufield scored a power-play goal on his lone shot, blocked one shot and recorded two hits over 19:11 of ice time in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to Toronto.

    Caufield opened the third period with a power-play goal that evened the game at three goals apiece. He nearly scored earlier in the game, but a video review determined he was offside on the play. The power-play goal was especially encouraging given Montreal's issues there last season which lingered into this year's preseason.
