JANUARY 1 • YOUTUBE

Backhand tally on power play Caufield scored a power-play goal and had three shots on net over 19:29 of ice time in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Caufield, fighting for position at the corner of the net, received a pass from Nick Suzuki and immediately backhanded the puck past Anthony Stolarz. That spot around the net is where head coach Martin St. Louis said in mid-December that Caufield needed to be when the forward was mired in a goal slump. He's scored two goals since, both coming from in and around the crease area. Caufield has nine goals (three on the power play) and 25 points over 35 games.

Impact A rebound of a Caufield shot landed on the stick of Nick Suzuki, who potted Montreal's fourth midway through the third period. It was the fourth consecutive game with a point for Caufield. The young forward missed a few shifts during the second period while in the dressing room, but it did not appear to be injury-related. While his goal-scoring is off this season, Caufield's contributed 16 assists through 33 games, four shy of the career-high 20 helpers logged in 67 games in 2021-22.

Perhaps Caufield heeded the call of head coach Martin St. Louis, who said the forward needs to get to the net more to help snap a scoring slump. Caufield has eight goals and 13 assists over 30 games.

Dealing with scoring slump Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis suggested Caufield needs to get closer to the net as a way to break the forward's scoring slump, Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette reports...

Impact Caufield hasn't found the back of a net in six games and scored just three goals over 21 games since an overtime winner against the Blue Jackets on Oct. 26. Four of his six goals have come on the power play (one) or in overtime (three). The report talks about the right-shooting forward's preference for positioning on the left side of the ice to target the short side and high, suggesting that goalies may have figured that out. The goal slump is not from lack of trying; Caufield leads Montreal by a wide margin with 104 shots.

Impact Caufield was the primary helper on Johnny Kovacevic's third-period goal that closed Florida's lead to 4-1.

The top three lines produced a goal Wednesday, and Caufield found his scoring touch with two goals on 10 shots over the final three games. The forward had just one tally over 12 games before lighting the lamp in wins over San Jose and Columbus.

Impact After a one-game reunion with Nick Suzuki on the first line, Caufield shifted back to the second line with Christian Dvorak and Juraj Slafkovsky against the Ducks. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis has juggled the lines of late in an attempt to spread out the offense, but the coach also needs to unlock Caufield's scoring touch. The winger's gone six games without a goal and has just one tally over the last 12. He continues to work in a top-six role and get TOI on the first power-play unit, so scoring chances should be there for Caufield, who leads the Canadiens with 73 shots on goal.

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).
