The Canadiens have sent Cole Caufield to Laval (AHL).
Caufield was expected to have a breakout season after scoring four goals with one assist in 10 games last year. He went on to pick up 12 points (4G / 8A) in 20 playoff games but has had a disastrous start to 2021-22. Caufield has just one assist and 22 shots in 10 games, so he'll head to the AHL to find some confidence.
