Lane Hutson

21-Year-Old DefensemanD
Montreal Canadiens
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hutson made his NHL debut last season, suiting up in the final two games of the regular season in which he recorded two assists, three shots and one hit while averaging 22:43 of ice time. Looking ahead to the upcoming campaign, the 20-year-old blueliner should be a full-time roster player for the Habs and could even see time with the No. 2 power-play unit. During his two-year stint at Boston University, the Michigan-born defenseman put his offensive upside on full display with 30 goals and 67 helpers in 77 outings. If he can translate that to the NHL level, Hutson could be in the mix for a rookie campaign similar to that of New York's Adam Fox, who notched eight goals and 34 helpers in 70 appearances back in 2019-20.

March 28, 2025
Hutson collected two assists in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Strong contender for roster spot
DMontreal Canadiens
September 15, 2024
Arpon Basu of The Athletic believes Hutson will start the 2024-25 campaign on the NHL roster.
ANALYSIS
Hutson made a positive impression while playing against other prospects for two games Sept 14/15 ahead of the start of training camp, and he already seemed to be in a good position after a strong 2023-24 campaign with Boston University in which he had 15 goals and 49 points in 38 contests followed by the young defenseman providing two assists across two appearances with Montreal. While the 20-year-old is still not guaranteed a roster spot, there is an opening for him to not only play for the Canadiens but also to receive a top-four role and some power-play ice time. In that scenario, he might do enough offensively to be one of this season's top rookie defensemen.
