NEW YORK (AP) — Minutes after scoring his 48th and 49th goals in the Montreal Canadiens’ seventh consecutive win, Cole Caufield was as on target with his humor as he was with his shot.Asked whether he’s thinking about reaching 50 goals and catching Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead, Caufield deadpanned, “No.” After a brief pause, he smiled and said, “Yeah,” and laughter ensued.
