Bon.
Will Patrik Laine surpass the 25-goal mark this season? The one with 30 goals?
Seeing him going lately, it seems like anything is possible…
The maverick has not yet scored in numerical equality: all his goals (8) have been scored on the powerplay.
And it's not a coincidence, but since Laine's return to the lineup… Caufield no longer scores.
#22 has only one goal in his last eight games, while he had scored 16 in his first 24 games of the season.
Since December 3 – the date we saw Laine return to the game – the small forward has one goal and seven assists to his record.
8 points in 9 games is REALLY not that bad… But we know Cole: he wants to score goals.
It's his specialty, after all.
Should we be worried?
In my eyes, the answer is no.
Cole Caufield has accustomed us to less good sequences (like all goal scorers) and it comes at a time when Laine is filling the back of the net.
The role of Tit-Cole changed with a man advantage, too. He is no longer positioned in his office and we are looking for him less on the ice because at the moment, it is Laine's shot which is especially very dangerous.
The sample is too thin to press the panic button. Because we saw Caufield score tons of goals at the start of the season too and that’s not to be neglected either.
On the other hand, it's certain that he can't wait to find the back of the net.
I said it before and I'll say it again: but Cole Caufield is known as a scorer. And when a scorer doesn't score, he often has difficulty being useful on the ice.
That said, it’s the opposite with Caufield. He's still involved, he's still shooting at the net… And he's picking up points along the way.
The goals will come back over time.

– Hello, boys !
– Oops.
– It looks easy.
