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.
EDGE Analysis
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 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 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 provides deeper statistics that indicate Caufield is applying pressure and generating scoring chances but shots haven't gone in.

Caufield logged an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Caufield helped out on Nick Suzuki's game-tying goal in the third period. Though 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.

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.

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