An unaired scene took place on the Montreal Canadiens’ bench and caught the attention of several observers.
Journalist Anthony Martineau captured and shared this magical moment involving Cole Caufield and Ivan Demidov, as the latter likely just played his best game of the season!
Looking back at the sequence in question, Demidov had just completed a completely spectacular individual rush.
Despite that incredible effort to beat the opposing defense, the puck did not find the back of the net on that play.
Upon returning to the team’s bench, Ivan Demidov was immediately greeted by number 13.
What a great moment, and yet another example of the fantastic atmosphere within this team.
Cole Caufield was the very first player to come over and warmly congratulate his young teammate for his play.
A few minutes later, Demidov added to it by scoring a huge goal!
Another special night for the Montreal Canadiens, highlighted by Cole Caufield and Ivan Demidov
Seeing an established player like Cole Caufield take a young player under his wing shows excellent leadership.
Head coach Martin St-Louis must love seeing sequences like that, just like all of us!
Cole Caufield, 25 years old, has 44 goals this season. We’re talking about a 5-foot-8 forward who was a first-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2019.
Ivan Demidov, 20 years old, is a 6-foot forward who was a first-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2024.
Another great night for the fans, once again!
