Montreal Canadiens prospect Cole Caufield has been stuck in a sort of limbo for the past week.
The Habs star prospect has been on the NHL team’s taxi squad during their trip to Alberta. This means he traveled with the team and has been at practice, but he was not eligible to play in any games.
Heading into the fifth, and final game of this road trip, Caufield will finally get to suit up in his first ever NHL game.
It couldn’t come at a more important time for the 2020-21 Montreal Canadiens.
