After months of waiting, the Canadian returned to action.
He started his season at home against the Maple Leafs.
Last year, it was Alex Newhook who scored the team’s first goal of the season. This season, it’s Cole Caufield… on the power play.
He beat Anthony Stolarz with a perfect play started by Mike Matheson and Juraj Slafkovsky.
The numerical advantage, which seems more dynamic, has unlocked. Eventually. Remember that in the preseason calendar, the club did not score a single power play goal.
Montreal did not score on the first opportunity, but managed to capitalize on its second opportunity.
It may have been the number one wave that found the back of the net, but it was the second wave piloted by Lane Hutson that started the five-man attack. She stayed in the offensive zone and allowed the best wave to set up.
Prolongation
Caufield scored in his first official match with number 13. Remember that he changed his number to pay tribute to his friend Johnny Gaudreau.
As he skated towards the goal, he pointed to the sky.
