Caufield had one shot on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Caufield's season of futility continued Wednesday, as the rookie was kept off the scoresheet for the eighth time in the last nine games. With one goal in 27 games, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette speculates the 21-year-old forward could be part of the wave of players that head back to AHL Laval. Several of the Canadiens' injured and COVID-impacted players will return during the team's seven-game road trip. The Habs also claimed Rem Pitlick off waivers from the Wild, so there are NHL-caliber forwards who will need roster spots.
