Caufield picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
He has three assists in his last four games, but Caufield has gone seven games without a goal. He has 28 shots in that span, so it's not for a lack of trying. Caufield has two goals (eight assists) in his last 13 games (52 shots), which is quite a cold front for the young sniper. Montreal has lost seven of its last eight, so they need Caufield to step up to change that trend.

Caufield scored two goals, one on the power play, on six shots and had two hits over 20:36 of ice time in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield put a stop to a five-game run without a goal when he scored a power-play goal in the second period. His tip of a Mike Matheson shot went wide, but the puck bounced off the back boards then off the leg of Jonathan Quick. The 23-year-old Caufield then ended the game's scoring in the third period with his 19th of the season. Caufield has points in 13 of the last 14 contests, posting eight goals and 10 assists during that stretch.

Caufield had a power-play assist and eight shots on net over 20:20 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield, who saw his career-high 11-game point streak halted in Sunday's loss to the Blues, potentially began a new one with his power-play helper. He was part of a chaotic sequence in front of Lukas Dostal that resulted in Nick Suzuki feeding Juraj Slafkovsky for the Canadiens' fourth goal. Caufield has gone five games without a goal, but he's remained involved in scoring explosions from both of his linemates. Suzuki has seven tallies over the last six games, while Slafkovsky has five over the last five contests.

Caufield logged an assist, four shots and one block over 19:51 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield extended his career-high point streak to 11 games with a sneaky assist on Nick Suzuki's tally early in the second period. Caufield cleared the puck to space in the neutral zone, but it was actually a pass off the boards for Nick Suzuki, who snuck behind the Dallas defense and beat Jake Oettinger to give the Canadiens a 1-0 lead. The duo of Caufield and Suzuki have been on the same line together for three seasons now, and the chemistry showed on this play. Caufield has six goals and eight assists during his streak and 41 points through 51 contests.

Caufield had an assist, four shots on net and one block over 15:58 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield picked the pocket of Beck Malenstyn in the neutral zone then saucered a perfect feed to linemate Nick Suzuki to open the scoring seven minutes into the first period. The helper extended Caufield's point streak to 10 games, during which he has six goals and seven assists. The scoring slump that was an issue in mid-December is no longer a concern.

Caufield picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
It extended his NHL career-long point streak to nine games (six goals, six assists). Caufield is four points from equaling his career mark (43), which he set in 67 games in 2021-22. His shooting percentage this season (9.6) is well below his career mark (12.7), so a few more goals should come as that rate levels up.

Caufield produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Only two of the seven goals in the game came at even strength, and Caufield had a hand in both of them, deking Semyon Varlamov out of his shorts in the first period before helping set up Sean Monahan for the game-winner late in the third. Caufield has gotten onto the scoresheet in eight straight games, piling up six goals and 11 points over that stretch, and the 23-year-old is just five points shy of tying his career high for a season with 43.
