Caufield scored a power-play goal and had two shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Caufield converted Nick Suzuki's setup for his second goal of the season and the first power-play goal of his career. He had a second goal in the third period, but it was reversed on review due to Montreal being offside. The 21-year-old forward, who has struggled all season, will be closely watched under interim head coach Martin St. Louis. The Canadiens hope the coach, a Hall of Famer who is similarly statured to Caufield, can help unlock the rookie's potential.
