The Canadiens have now won their last four games.

Nick Suzuki is playing a big role in all this as he has been truly sensational since the break, but Lane Hutson’s performance is also noteworthy.

The Canadiens’ defenseman was excellent again last night, scoring a beautiful goal, and he now has 63 points in his first season in the NHL. Not bad…

Hutson has collected seven points in his last four games and is really starting to win the Calder with his recent performances.

He stepped up at a crucial moment in the Canadiens’ season and it’s worth mentioning.

Hutson is not only playing like a veteran, he’s also playing like one of the best players in the league right now.

That’s no small feat.

If Lane Hutson doesn’t win the Calder Trophy, there will be an uproar in Montreal.

And rightly so.

Macklin Celebrini, Dustin Wolf, and Matvei Michkov are having excellent individual seasons… but Hutson is taking his team to the playoffs and that’s the big difference.

Each of these players would deserve to take home the trophy and there’s no doubt about that.

The 2024-2025 rookie class is really excellent: Celebrini, Wolf, and Michkov will have great careers in the NHL… and that puts even more emphasis on Lane Hutson’s case because he’s the top-scoring rookie defenseman.

He’s really special, the kid. And even if we talk about him a lot for obvious reasons, he deserves even more attention because he’s so good at his age.

I’m excited to see him in the coming years👀


Overtime

– There you have it!

– Sick.

– Oh yeah?

– He’s a good leader.
