  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Ties NHL record in finale

    Hutson picked up an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.

    When the 21-year-old helped set up Kaiden Guhle for the game-winner in the second period -- a goal that ultimately clinched a playoff spot for the Canadiens -- it gave Hutson his 60th assist of the season, tying the NHL record for rookie defensemen set by Larry Murphy in 1980-81. Hutson's mark of 66 points on the campaign is also tied for the fourth-most in history by a first-year blueliner, matching Phil Housley's total from 1982-83, and it establishes a new franchise-best mark, topping Chris Chelios' 64 points from 1984-85.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Manages helper in win

    Hutson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.

    Hutson set up Patrik Laine for a goal at 5:47 of the second period, which ended up being the game-winner. With 11 points over his last eight contests -- only two of which were on the power play -- Hutson is stepping up in a big moment for the Canadiens. The top-four blueliner has 64 points (six goals, 58 assists), 86 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 77 appearances as a rookie.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Nets go-ahead goal in win

    Hutson scored a goal and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

    Hutson has racked up two goals and 12 assists over his last 12 contests. He gave the Canadiens a 2-1 lead in the second period of Saturday's contest. Hutson leads all NHL rookies with 63 points (six goals, 57 assists), and he's earned 25 power-play points. His recent momentum is impressive, and it's linked with the Canadiens' push to take the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, which they currently have by a four-point margin over the Rangers. Hutson is definitely in the conversation for the Calder Trophy and continues to handle a top-four role pretty well at age 21.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Three helpers against champs

    Hutson notched three assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.

    It was the second straight three-point performance by the 21-year-old blueliner, who remained locked in a tight race for the Calder Trophy with Philadelphia's Matvei Michkov. Hutson is up to five goals and 62 points -- four points clear of Michkov among rookies -- in 74 appearances, and he's actually picking up his scoring pace with the playoffs approaching rather than fading late in his first NHL campaign. Over 15 games since the beginning of March, Hutson has racked up a goal and 18 points.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Grabs trio of apples in win

    Hutson distributed three assists and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over Florida.

    Hutson's first two helpers came with a man advantage on power-play goals scored by Patrik Laine and Juraj Slafkovsky across the first two periods. Hutson then had the primary assist on Nick Suzuki's game-winning goal early in the third period. Hutson's three apples Sunday brings his season totals up to 54 assists, 59 points and 109 blocks in 73 games this season. At just 21 years old, Hutson is not only a premier playmaker on the blue line, but across the entire NHL. The rookie has burst onto the scene, ranking tied for ninth in the league in assists and finds himself in the top three among defensemen. Hutson has 10 points in his last nine games and has elite value for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Joins exclusive club Thursday

    Hutson collected two assists in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

    With his helper on an Alex Newhook tally in the first period, Hutson became the fifth blueliner in NHL history to record 50 assists in his rookie campaign, joining a list that includes Hall of Famers Chris Chelios and Larry Murphy -- with Murphy's 60 being the all-time record. Hutson isn't showing any signs of slowing down, and over 12 games in March, he's produced a goal and 12 points. The 21-year-old has 56 points (five goals, 51 assists) in 71 appearances, and he still has a chance of matching or topping Chelios' 64 points from 1984-85 -- Montreal's franchise mark for points by a rookie defenseman.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: First rookie to 50 points

    Hutson logged two assists, including one on the power play, and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.

    Hutson is the first rookie to cross the 50-point threshold this season -- he got there with his first assist of the contest. The defenseman has 51 points through 65 appearances for a 0.78 points-per-game rate, which is behind Macklin Celebrini's mark of 0.89, as the San Jose center missed nearly a month early in the campaign. Still, Hutson has the scoring chops to be in the Calder Trophy discussion at the end of the season. The 21-year-old blueliner has racked up a goal and nine assists over his last nine outings while seeing time in the Canadiens' top four and on the first power-play unit.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Collects helper in overtime loss

    Hutson notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

    Hutson has earned a goal and seven helpers during his six-game point streak, which started Feb. 22 when play resumed following the 4 Nations Face-Off. The 21-year-old blueliner kept the streak going when he set up a Joel Armia tally in the second period. Hutson has scored at a tremendous level for a rookie defenseman, earning four goals, 45 assists, 70 shots on net, 87 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 62 appearances.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Plates two helpers in win

    Hutson dished two assists, took two shots on net, and made two blocks during Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

    Hutson provided helpers on Montreal's second and third goals of the night. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to 42 assists, 46 points, 70 shots on net and 85 blocks in 60 appearances this season. With 42 helpers, Hutson ranks fifth among all defensemen in assists and is tied for 20th among all skaters. The second-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft is having a standout rookie season and is competing against San Jose's Macklin Celebrini and Philadelphia's Matvei Michkov as the likely favorites for this year's Calder Trophy. If Hutson can maintain his current form and stay healthy, he'll at least be a nominee for the award at the end of this season.

He's added 67 shots on net, 83 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-17 rating -- while he's making an effort and playing big minutes, he still has some work to do in his own zone.

  • Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Slings power-play assist

    Hutson logged a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

    Hutson set up a Patrik Laine tally in the first period, which ended up being the game-winner. With three helpers over six contests in February, Hutson has had a decent month, though he's certainly not playing at his best. He's also gone minus-3 in that span. For the season, the 21-year-old blueliner is up to three goals, 39 assists (18 on the power play), 66 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 32 PIM and a minus-18 rating through 57 outings.
