Montreal winger Cole Caufield leads the team with 19 goals this season, tied for 10^th most in the NHL, having scored twice in his last three games. Caufield, a first-round selection by the Canadiens in the 2019 NHL Draft, is one goal shy of his fourth consecutive 20-goal season and is on pace to obliterate his career highs in goals and points. The 24-year-old Wisconsin native has established new career highs in goals in each of his first four seasons tallying 28 goals a year ago.

Chicago ranks next to last in goals scored per game and have just three skaters, winger Tyler Bertuzzi alongside centers Ryan Danato and 2024 Rookie of the Year Connor Bedard, as the only Blackhawks with double-digit goals this season led by Bertuzzi’s 12 goals through 38 games.

Montreal has won four of the last five in Chicago with the lone Blackhawks win coming in overtime.
