In a significant blow to the Montreal Canadiens’ lineup, right wing Cole Caufield has been ruled out for the team’s upcoming game against the Edmonton Oilers on March 6, 2025.
According to the Canadiens’ medical staff, Caufield is currently nursing a lower-body injury, which will keep him sidelined for at least one game. The injury is not believed to be serious, but the team is taking a cautious approach to ensure Caufield’s long-term health and safety.
“Cole is a key player for our team, and we want to make sure he’s 100% healthy before he returns to the lineup,” said Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis. “We’re confident that with a little rest and rehab, Cole will be back to his old self in no time.”
In Caufield’s absence, the Canadiens will likely turn to other players to fill the void on the right wing. One possible replacement could be Josh Anderson, who has been playing well of late and has experience playing on the top lines.
Despite Caufield’s absence, the Canadiens are still looking forward to a highly anticipated matchup against the Oilers. The game promises to be an exciting one, with both teams battling for playoff positioning in the Western Conference.
“We’re going to miss Cole’s speed and scoring ability, but we have a deep team and we’re confident that we can still get the job done,” said Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki. “We’re looking forward to a big game against the Oilers and we’re excited to get back on the ice.”
