How the relationship between Cole Caufield and Martin St. Louis can help snap a playoff funk

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Cole Caufield came off the ice Thursday after an extended optional skate at KeyBank Center, and after several of his teammates had long since left.This is not unusual behaviour for Caufield. He regularly stays on the ice for extra work.It was just the context that was unusual.As he entered, the Montreal Canadiens dressing room was filled with reporters waiting to talk to him about why he has not been able to score at the most important time of the year, why a 51-goal scorer in the regular season who scored 40 of those goals at even strength has none at five-on-five through eight playoff games.
