Cole Caufield has scored twice in the first period, and Montréal leads Dallas 3-1 with 0:16 left in the 1st (19:44 played).
The goals were not flukes. Caufield took 3 shots on goal, and his second goal at 16:32 was a high-quality look. His chances were worth 0.91 expected goals -- how many goals the average shooter would score from those looks. He opened the scoring at 5v5 at 7:24 and added the third Montréal goal just seconds after Alex Newhook put the visitors ahead.
