Lane Hutson Sets New Franchise Record With Another Productive Outing
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson established the longest point streak by a rookie blue-liner in franchise history when he recorded a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 shootout win against Anaheim. The 20-year-old stretched his point streak to seven games just a couple of minutes into the contest. Hutson has done all of his scoring via assists during the run, reaching 19 helpers for the season. In fact, he's yet to score his first career goal, coming up empty-handed in 28 appearances this season with 32 shots. Hutson looks like a special talent on the offensive end, but he's also done his bit in the defensive zone, blocking 40 shots from the opposition across 28 games.
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson recorded his first career NHL point during Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Huston tallied an assist on the club's fourth goal of the game, 12:26 into the third period. While the Wings tied it late and eventually won the contest in a shootout, they were eliminated from the postseason due to a Washington Capitals win over the Philadelphia Flyers. The 20-year-old blue-liner recently signed an entry-level deal with the Habs after dominating to the tune of 15 goals and 49 points across 38 games with Boston University this season. He collected 30 goals and 97 points with the Terriers across two seasons before turning pro.
Montreal Canadiens defensive prospect Lane Hutson will make his NHL debut on Monday versus the Detroit Red Wings after signing an entry-level deal with the team on Friday. The Boston University product inked his three-year, entry-level deal after his season at Boston University concluded by way of a 2-1 overtime loss to future NCAA champions Denver University on Thursday. "I'm just really excited," Huston said on Monday. " The guys here have been great and yeah, just ready to get going." The 2022 second-rounder notched 15 goals and 49 points across 38 games as a Sophomore this season, finishing second in the country for points by a defenseman. He registered 30 goals and 97 points across 77 games in his two years with the Terriers.
