Caufield was a beacon of hope for the Canadiens in Game 1, scoring his first Stanley Cup playoff goal at 12:05 of the second period on the power play to bring him down to 2-1. The 20-year-old rookie called the moment “special” in the presence of her parents.

Another bright spot the Canadiens hope to keep in the rest of the series has been their departure. They had the best scoring chances in the first period, when they outscored the Golden Knights 12-8, but fell 1-0 behind a defenseman’s goal. Shea Theodore at 9:15 a.m.

“I thought it was a good start,” said Carey Award, who made 26 saves. “I thought we were out shooting, obviously. They gained momentum in the second half, but I think our first half showed we can play with them.

However, penalties are a problem, according to coach Dominique Ducharme, which needs to be cleaned up.

The Canadians took three minors in 6:44 between the first and second periods, siphoning off some of the energy they had built up in the first period.

“I liked our start,” said Ducharme. “I thought after the penalties we were a little less dangerous or less good with the puck and we weren’t creating as much because we were a little too far from the puck. Our puck support was not as good. This is something we can do a lot better.

“We will adapt as we know we can. We know how to do it. It has a huge impact on the pace of our game.”
