Caufield is not in the lineup Thursday against Toronto in Game 1, Kevin McGran of The Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield got his first taste of NHL action in the final 10 games of the season. He acquitted himself well, ringing up four goals and an assist through 13:58 of average ice time. With that in mind, you'd have to think the Canadiens will plug him at some point in the series if they scuffle offensively against the Maple Leafs.

Caufield scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield tallied at 13:30 of the second period for the first 5-on-5 goal of his career. He's scored three times in seven outings since joining the Canadiens, and two of those goals have come in overtime wins. The 15th overall pick from 2019 has worked in a top-six role, and he could be a bigger scoring threat in the playoffs.

Caufield scored the game-winning goal and had two shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
That's two straight overtime winners for the rookie out of the University of Wisconsin, who only logged 12:17 of ice time but capitalized on a late shift in the extra session, jumping off the bench to join the play and wire a shot past Jack Campbell from the slot. Caufield scored goals at a prodigious rate as a collegian and is already flashing the big-time shot that made him the Hobey Baker Award winner as the top player in the NCAA.

Caufield scored the game-winning goal Saturday in a 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa. It was his first NHL goal.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield drove the net and redirected a pass inside the right post; it was his fourth game in the NHL. The sniper has had some season. He scored four points, including three goals, in a two-game stint in the AHL after winning the Hobey Baker Award on the back of a 30-goal, 22-assist performance in 31 games with Wisconsin this season. Caufield has a bright future ahead of him and he needs to be a target in dynasty formats.
