Habs Highlights: Caufield Reaches 49 In Seventh Straight Win
Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images The Montreal Canadiens visited the New York Rangers on Thursday night, in a bid to extend their late-season winning streak to seven games. It was a rather low event game to start, but it picked up steam through the periods, with the Canadiens eventually emerging with the 3-2 victory. As per tradition, Habs sniper Cole Caufield made his mark, scoring two goals to push his season tally to 49.
Let’s dive into the highlights! Slow And Steady The first period featured very few high-danger scoring chances, with the teams preferring to offer a tentative style of play. It wasn’t until the second period that Alex Newhook broke the ice, providing yet more evidence that his presence on the second line has done wonders for the entire top six .
Rookie Ivan Demidov registered his 43rd assist of the year, a continuation of his underrated freshman season in the NHL. Ivan Demidov sets up Alex Newhook. 1-0 #GoHabsGo pic.
