Cole Caufield didn’t get any points in three games this week

Cole Caufield had a small slump last week.

The forward did not get any points in the Habs’ last three games.

Bad news for the Habs? Not really.

First, because the rest of his line is still working well.

Nick Suzuki had a goal and two assists in his last three games and Juraj Slafkovsky, who has been doing well since the return of the 4 Nations break, got two goals last night against the Colorado Avalanche.

Then, because other Habs players are taking over to ensure the team’s offensive production.

This week, it was the third line that stood out as Brendan Gallagher, whose mother sadly passed away last Thursday, and Christian Dvorak both got two goals and three assists.

Josh Anderson got two goals in the game against the Ottawa Senators, in addition to playing very physical hockey.

The net result is that the Habs managed to get four points out of a possible six this week and could have easily gotten one or two more points without the contribution of their top scorer.

This shows that the Habs have good depth on offense and that the team does not rely solely on the performances of their top line to score goals.

Should we worry about Caufield? Not really either.

The American is no stranger to sequences of a few games without scoring, which alternate with more productive periods.

Especially since after a quieter game against the Senators, Caufield was more threatening with three and six shots in the last two games.

This should unlock soon for the young forward, and I don’t think there’s anything to worry about in his case.

Especially since the Habs will play their next four games on the road, and Caufield has scored 22 of his 33 goals this season on opponents’ ice.

Overtime

– The two comedians together.

– The Lions lost 5-4.

– The Sabres beat the Jets.

– The Hawks’ offense exploded!

– Wow!
