Louis.Ĭaufield joins a collection of players out of action for Montreal.
After an underwhelming start to his NHL career, Caufield has blossomed into the Canadiens' leading goal-scorer over the past two seasons under the tutelage of coach Martin St. The swift-skating winger had 26 goals in 46 games this season, along with 10 assists.

He affords his linemates options by taking advantage of any allotted attention he garners, generating time and space by drawing guys in he’s perpetually hard to play against. He has a shot that absolutely leaps off his stick with pinpoint accuracy when he lets loose and a low centre of gravity that facilitates fast and flashy puckhandling at pace. The hallmark of his game is his exceptional goal-scoring ability. Upon procuring puck possession, he’ll be the first to explode up ice in-transition. Defensively, he’s uncomfortable having the puck in his own end for long and he’ll make the extra effort to pressure around the blue line and take away cross-ice options. A game-breaking goal scorer that, despite his diminutive frame, thrives under pressure and is difficult to contain.
