Caufield scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over New Jersey.
After a New Jersey offensive foray was repelled by the Canadiens, Nick Suzuki found Caufield sneaking out of the zone on a breakaway, and he beat Andrew Hammond glove-side for his 17th goal of the season. The rookie forward has tallied in three consecutive games. That dynamic duo is blossoming under interim head coach Martin St. Louis: Caufield has 29 points in 26 games under the new bench boss, while Suzuki has 26.
