Cole Caufield scores power-play goal to give Canadiens 2-1 lead

sportsMay 10, 202625134

Cole Caufield snapped a power-play shot at 13:55 of the second period to put the Montreal Canadiens up 2-1 against the Buffalo Sabres in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference second round. The goal came on Montreal's man advantage after a Sabres penalty and broke a 1-1 tie. Caufield scored 51 goals in the regular season but had registered only one playoff goal entering this game, underscoring Montreal's reliance on his secondary scoring. The tally gives the Canadiens momentum in the series and forces Buffalo to play more aggressively in the remaining periods.

Cole Caufield hasn't forgotten how to score goals. I'm not concerned.

Cole Caufield missed his clearance and Thompson scores less than a minute in 1-0 Buffalo #GoHabsGo

Greenway didn't have a stick for a good chunk of that penalty kill, and the Canadiens finally take advantage. Lane Hutson weaves through a few Sabres and finds Cole Caufield for a goal. Montreal up 2-1.

My kid got bumped up from beginner to intermediate at U6 hockey skills today, so I’m taking that as a sign of the Wisconsin hockey gods being in a good mood. They will bless Cole Caufield with a multi point night. #GoHabsGo

Hey, Ray Ferraro! Cole Caufield didn’t “miss” that shot. Sammy’s stick stopped its forward progress. How do they not mention that at all? #sabres #stanleycup2026
