Cole Caufield is having a great time.
The Canadiens forward scored his 15th goal of the season last night, giving him 30 points in just 27 games this season… and just one behind Nick Suzuki.
He finds different ways to outwit opposing goalies, and this is what makes him such a dangerous player on the ice now:

If Cofield wanted to send a message to Bill Guerin, the best way would be to put dots on the board.
And that's exactly what's happening right now: Caufield has scored at least one point in his last 10 games, and he's been an active part of the Canadiens' recent successes.
We wanted him to play an even bigger role this season and Caufield obviously understood that idea. He has truly proven himself to be a great leader for the club on the ice.

Cole Caufield isn't the biggest player on the ice.
But when he plays like that… his size becomes less important. Because if Caufield impresses, it's also because he plays well in all three areas of the rink. His game has become more complete and the results are already there.
And hats off to Martin St. Louis… who helped Caufield become a true impact player. We can no longer talk about No. 13 as a one-dimensional player, and that's also good news for the Canadiens.
Caufield is on track for a 45-goal, 90-point season. There aren't many players in the NHL who can reach that level in one season, and his performance seems to surprise me in some ways.
We know how talented he is. But what's most impressive right now is his consistency… and all the better for it.
I wonder what Bill Guerin is thinking at the time of writing…
