Since the start of the year, Caufield has been focusing on refining his play in the defensive zone.
Fortunately, he has a good role model in Granato, who boasts 774 games of NHL experience.
"My coach and I have been working on D-zone stuff, playing without the puck, and being more involved when I don't have the puck. I've got to always be around supporting. I need to get to loose pucks quicker," mentioned Caufield. "I think I've done that the past couple of weekends. It's always something that I should get better at and continue to grow at it."
Caufield and the Badgers will be back in action on Friday and Saturday against the Penn State Nittany Lions at the Kohl Center in Madison, WI.
