Since the start of the 2022–23 season—his first full year in the NHL—no one has scored more goals for the Canadiens, including game-winners, than Cole Caufield. A natural finisher with a flair for clutch moments, he continues to light up the Bell Centre. Down a goal late against Nashville, Lane Hutson blocked an empty-net attempt and pushed the puck ahead to Caufield at the far blue line. Caufield skated in and ripped a wrist shot home to tie it with 20 seconds left. Then, in overtime, he struck again—burying a feed from Nick Suzuki with just two seconds on the clock to send the Montreal crowd into a frenzy.
