Caufield continues to play to his identity offensively. He's a shooter / goal scorer more than a natural play maker - but his distribution game has improved overall.
Average defensively. Not the kind of forward the Habs will utilize in key defensive zone scenarios.
Solid skater - more quick than fast - explodes out of the blocks - not a pure burner in open ice
Elite release. Pucks are on and off his stick quickly and accurately. Requires very little room to deposit pucks bar down.
Through 54GP he Caufield averaged 19:10 TOI - 15:24 ES - 3:45 PP - doesn't PK
19G - 26A - 45PTS (-1)
11G on PP
High volume shot producer. Aggressive getting pucks on net. Credited with 202 SOG
