Caufield suffered a season-ending injury and will be undergoing surgery in the near future.

The Montreal Canadiens shared the bad news this morning that their star forward Cole Caufield is injured and will miss the rest of the season. He will reportedly be undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in the near future.

Caufield’s shoulder injury occurred earlier in the season and he has been playing injured, according to the Canadiens. The decision about his surgery and putting an end to his season is said to have followed a medical evaluation that took place on Friday night.

In a press conference today, Habs coach Martin St. Louis said that he told the team that they will have to compensate for his absence in terms of the energy that he brings to the team, not just the goal-scoring. In the Instagram embed below, some of Caufield’s teammates reacted to the news.
