Cole Caufield press briefing: We now have unpublished details about his injury and when he was injured

As we knew, he has a shoulder injury, but the first time the problem appeared was during the game against the Dallas Stars, just before Christmas.

However, the problem reappeared a second time in Nashville, a few days later. He says that if the Habs were in the playoff race, he could play.

On the other hand, his shoulder must have been banged up for a while, as Caufield was feeling some pain last summer.

The number 22 of the CH mentioned that he will be operated by the same doctor who took care of Josh Anderson and Zach Werenski a few weeks ago.

The young star of the Tricolore allowed himself a little anecdote during the press conference, when he mentioned that the team had confiscated his sticks, to prevent him from throwing pucks.

The rehabilitation of his surgery could take three months before he can start shooting pucks again.
