Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Tallies in win
Caufield's goal helps Canadiens snap losing streak
Cole Caufield scored his fourth goal of the season as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 on Saturday night. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Canadiens, who improved to 5-6-2 on the season.
Caufield's goal came in the second period, just over a minute after the Canucks had taken a 2-1 lead. The goal was assisted by Nick Suzuki and Jeff Petry.
The Canadiens would go on to score three more goals in the third period, including an empty-net goal by Brendan Gallagher. The win was the first for the Canadiens since Oct. 22, when they defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-4 in overtime.
Caufield continues to impress
Caufield has been one of the few bright spots for the Canadiens this season. The 20-year-old forward has four goals and five assists in 13 games, and he is averaging over a point per game.
Caufield's goal on Saturday night was a thing of beauty. He took a pass from Suzuki and then skated around Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes before beating goalie Thatcher Demko with a wrist shot.
Caufield's goal was a reminder of his potential, and it is a sign that he is starting to find his footing in the NHL. The Canadiens are going to need Caufield to continue to produce if they want to turn their season around.
Canadiens snap losing streak
The win over the Canucks was a much-needed one for the Canadiens. The Canadiens had lost their previous two games, and they were in danger of falling out of playoff contention.
The Canadiens played a strong game against the Canucks, and they deserved to win. The Canadiens got goals from five different players, and they played a solid defensive game.
The win was a good sign for the Canadiens, and it is a sign that they are starting to turn things around. The Canadiens will need to continue to play well if they want to make the playoffs this season, but the win over the Canucks was a good step in the right direction.
