Cole Caufield of the Montreal Canadiens etched his name in franchise history, scoring two go-ahead goals against the Washington Capitals, surpassing Guy Lafleurs record for most goals in a single season. Caufield, with 21 goals, is also closing in on his own career high of 37 goals and the elusive 40-goal mark, last achieved by a Hab in 1993-94. The Canadiens strong home play and Caufields hot streak contributed to the 6-2 victory, with Caufield now tied with Nathan MacKinnon for the most league goals on Saturdays.

With the NHL today, March 1st, Montreal, Canadians forward, Cole Caulfield made history on Saturday night. In a 62-win over the Washington Capitals at the Bell Center, he scored two go-ahead goals to break Guy LaFloor's franchise record for most in. A single season, Caulfield now has 21, topping the floor's mark of 20 from the 1977-1978 Stanley Cup year. LaFloor had put up 60 goals and 132 points that season. Caulfield sits at 35 goals this year, just too shy of his own career high of 37 from last season. He's also chasing 40, a total no-have has hit since Benson-Dampfacy in 1993-1994. Fans are buzzing about Caulfield hot streak, solidifying him as a top score. His linemates like Kirby Doc, Nick Suzuki, Jake Evans, and Mike Matheson added to the blowout after Washington pulled within too late. The win highlights Montreal's strong play at home.
Caulfield opened the scoring just 30 seconds in on a breakaway, then added another early in the first after the Cavs tied in. That second tally sealed the record. Overall, he has 60 points in 59 games. He's tied with Colorado's Nathan McKinnon for the most league goals on Saturdays. At this pace, Caulfield projects for 49 goals, nearing Stefan Richards' 50 from 1989-1990. Keep an eye on Habs milestones next season. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor.
