Cole Caufield Sets New Career High With 38th Goal of Season

Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield reached a new career high with his 38th goal of the season during a loss to the San Jose Sharks. Returning from an illness, the 25-year-old is on pace to become the team's first 40-goal scorer since 1994. Caufield now has 65 points on the year and has evolved into a more complete, defensively responsible player under coach Martin St. Louis. He remains a key asset for Montreal, currently tied for second in the league in total goals scored.
