Caufield scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Caufield scored his 51st goal of the season at the 3:58 mark of the third period, but that wasn't enough to spark a late Montreal comeback. Caufield is having an elite season after becoming the first American player to reach the 50-goal plateau in franchise history, and he'll look to boost his scoring numbers even further in the final two games of the regular season. Caufield is just two points shy of reaching 90 points for the first time in his career, as he has 51 goals and 37 assists in 79 contests.

Rotowire
Caufield scored his 50th goal of the season in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Thursday.
What a milestone, and the goal was a beauty. Caufield drove down the right side on a rush, took a pass from Nick Suzuki and fired a wrist shot that beat Andrei Vasilevskiy glove side to put the Habs up 1-0 in the second period. He scored at home, with his dad in the stands, and he was given a lengthy standing ovation. Caufield is the seventh player in franchise history to score 50 goals in a season. He's the first since Stephane Richer put up 51 in 1989-90. And he's the first American-born player to score 50 for the Habs.
