CDM: Cole Caufield scores his first two goals in a U.S. victory

It’s reassuring to see the Habs maverick find the back of the net, even if it is against Poland, as his disappointing performances had some worried.

The American forward seemed to develop a nice chemistry with Shane Pinto and Brady Tkachuk today, as the Habs and Ottawa Senators representatives played on the same line.

Tkachuk picked up an assist on each of Caufield’s two goals.

The Habs forward now has four points (two goals, two assists) in five games at the World Championship so far.

That’s good for his résumé if he’s to make the U.S. national team for the next Winter Olympics.

In short, Caufield helped the U.S. to a victory (not the most convincing, but still), which now places the U.S. second in Group B behind Sweden, and just ahead of Germany and Slovakia (of Juraj Slafkovsky).
