Canadiens defeat Golden Knights as Cole Caufield extends goal streak
Jan 27, 2026; Montreal, Quebec, CAN; Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield (13) celebrates after scoring a goal against the Vegas Golden Knights during the second period at the Bell Centre. Mandatory Credit: Eric Bolte-Imagn Images Jake Evans scored 3:58 into overtime and Cole Caufield extended his goal-scoring streak to a career-high six games, fueling the host Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday.
Evans skated up the right wing and drove to the net before converting a backhand shot as the Canadiens snapped a modest two-game losing streak.
Caufield had an apparent goal overturned via video review before scoring at 8:55 of the second period. Caufield’s team-leading 30th goal of the season boosted his streak to six games, tying Max Pacioretty (2014-15) and Max Domi (2019-20) for the longest run by a member of the franchise over the past 30 years.
Phillip Danault scored a goal and Jakub Dobes made 32 saves for Montreal.
Pavel Dorofeyev scored two goals and Akira Schmid turned aside 23 shots for the Golden Knights, who have lost four of their last five contests following a season-high seven-game winning streak.
Dorofeyev’s deflection of defenseman Ben Hutton’s shot forged a 2-2 tie with 3:08 remaining in the third period. The goal was his team-leading 24th goal of the season and eighth in his last nine games
Vegas forced a turnover in its defensive end, allowing Dorofeyev to skate through the neutral zone and cross the blue line on a 2-on-1 rush with Braeden Bowman.
Dorofeyev opted to keep the puck and wired a shot over the glove of Dobes to open the scoring at 8:38 of the first period.
The Canadiens pulled even at 4:24 of the second period after Danault deflected a shot by Zack Bolduc. The goal was the second in 17 games for Danault, who failed to find the net in 30 games earlier this season with the Los Angeles Kings.
Caufield converted while stationed below the goal line to give Montreal a 2-1 lead. The goal was Caufield’s ninth in his last six games.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday (hand) likely out weeks after Opening Day
Sep 27, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (7) at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will miss Opening Day due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand, general manager Mike Elias announced on Wednesday morning.
Holliday, who sustained the injury during live batting practice last Friday, will undergo a procedure to address the issue on Thursday. His timeline for recovery likely will be measured in weeks, per Elias.
Holliday, 22, batted just .242 with 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 149 games last season.
He is the top overall pick of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday.
New acquisition Blaze Alexander likely will take the younger Holliday’s place in the field.
Also on Wednesday, Elias announced third baseman Jordan Westburg is nursing a right oblique injury. The injury, however, is not expected to prevent Westburg from playing at the start of the regular season.

Report: Giants hire Brian Callahan as QBs coach
Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan exits the field after the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025. Former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is being added to John Harbaugh’s coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the New York Giants, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Callahan, 41, was fired by the Titans last October after a 1-5 start. Tennessee posted a 4-19 record under Callahan, who was hired by the Titans after five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator that included a three-point loss in Super Bowl LVI.
ESPN reported Callahan also interviewed with the Giants for the offensive coordinator position, which ultimately went to Matt Nagy. The latter was a former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and head coach of the Chicago Bears.
Callahan, who will be coaching former first-round pick Jaxson Dart in his second season in the league, has extensive experience developing quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator for four seasons for Joe Burrow with the Bengals, was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 for Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders and for two seasons for Matthew Stafford with the Detroit Lions.
In addition to Dart, Callahan will be working with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston.
Callahan and Nagy are part of an offensive staff that also includes former Rice University head coach Mike Bloomgren as offensive line coach and former offensive coordinators Greg Roman as senior offensive assistant and Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.
