Mike Rupp sees 60-goal ceiling for Canadiens star Cole Caufield
Mike Rupp sees a 60-goal ceiling for Cole Caufield after his 51-goal breakout season.
Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield, who scored 51 goals in the 2025-26 season, now has a realistic chance to reach 60 goals, according to NHL Network analyst Mike Rupp. Rupp praised Caufield's shooting ability, noting his stop-and-pop style and clean release. The analyst also compared Caufield to hockey greats like Alex Ovechkin and Auston Matthews, highlighting the unique ways each player scores.
Caufield's effectiveness in tight spaces around the net and his role on Montreal's top line with Nick Suzuki and Juraj Slafkovsky further enhance his scoring potential. With nine more goals needed than last season, Caufield's combination of talent and role makes 60 goals a realistic target.
