Cole Caufield is a pure goal scorer, and his progression is impressive for any hockey fan.
Last year, the young winger had the best season of his young NHL career with 37 goals and 33 assists for 70 points.
Beyond the stats, Caufield's playing style draws attention, as he must compensate for his very small size with an elusive and spectacular style of play.
This often results in highlight-reel goals, like the one he scored in overtime against San Jose in the final stretch of last season
A Cole Caufield goal named the 4th most beautiful goal of the year by the NHL
Fans of the Canadiens who follow the NHL's social media channels got a nice surprise yesterday.
Cole Caufield earned 4th place in the league's ranking of the 50 most beautiful goals of the year.
The goal in question, which you can see in the video below, gave the Canadiens a valuable extra point that ultimately proved crucial in securing a playoff spot.
For the 2025-2026 season, expectations for Cole Caufield are high in Montreal. After a 37-goal, 70-point campaign, everyone hopes he will surpass the 40-goal mark, a feat no Canadiens player has achieved since Vincent Damphousse in 1993-1994.
His consistent progression, key role on the first line with Nick Suzuki, and improved defensive work under Martin St. Louis are very encouraging for Montreal fans.
