He nailed his first 50-goal campaign, outpacing everyone in clutch offensive plays, even if he trailed Nathan McKinnon by two for the rocket. Richard Trophy and Conor McDavid by 15 spots in the Art Ross race. The goal-scoring zeroes in on points that swing games, a stat unique to the hockey news. Goals count for one point base, assist half, but they stack bonuses for big moments like first goals of the game or tying scores. Fans and analysts love how it highlights game changers over raw totals. Caulfield's edge shows his knack for delivering when it counts, boosting Montreal's attack and tight spots all year. Now with playoffs kicking off, he's starting his third postseason run and second series against the Tampa Bay Lightning this Sunday night. Early games could lean on his hot hand from the regular season.
