He played 13 games with the Rangers in the 1986–87 season, accumulating 45 penalty minutes.
The Rangers traded Caufield prior to the 1987–88 season, where he played 65 games for the Kalamazoo Wings.
With the Penguins, Caufield played most of five seasons, including the 1991–92 Stanley Cup. He averaged nearly four penalty minutes a game, and in 194 games with Pittsburgh he scored three goals. He was demoted to the IHL for 1993–94 and retired at the end of the season.
