Report: Canadiens Superstar Snubbed From Team USA
The Montreal Canadiens are a team full of youngsters with extremely bright futures, but one key star is continuing to make a name for himself. Cole Caufield not only leads the Canadiens in goals with 12, but he’s second in the NHL.
At 23 years old in his fourth full season with the Canadiens, Caufield is really breaking out as a legit star in the sport. Despite the production, Caufield isn’t a lock to represent his country at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.
According to Pierre LeBrun on TSN’s Insider Trading, the Stevens Point, Wisconsin native is currently not on the Team USA roster.
“No final decisions have been made, but our understanding is that despite the really greaet start to the season,” LeBrun said. “Cole Caufield right now is on the outside looking in.”
Team USA has never seen a roster so deep and they are emerging as legitimate favorites. The firepower of Auston Matthews, the Tkachuk brothers, and Hughes brothers might be too much for Caufield to fight through.
