BROSSARD – Forward Cole Caufield is the recipient of the Molson Cup for the month of October.

Caufield was chosen first star of the game once (October 12 vs. Ottawa), second star of the game once (October 19 at New York) and third star of the game once (October 9 vs. Toronto). In 11 games in October, the left winger led the NHL with ten goals (tied with Nico Hischier).

Caufield also led the team with six even-strength goals, four power play markers, two game-winning goals and 32 shots. His 31.3% shooting percentage ranks first in the league among players who have scored at least seven goals during that span. Caufield became the first Canadiens player to score 10 goals in 11 games or fewer since Brian Savage in 1999-2000.

A ceremony honoring October’s Molson Cup winner will take place before Tuesday’s game against the Calgary Flames at the Bell Centre.
