We once thought Lane Hutson was light years ahead of Cale Makar.

That's no longer the case. Sure, Makar is the best defenseman in the NHL, but the Habs' protégé isn't too far behind, at least offensively.

The CH's 48 is just three points behind Makar for first place among NHL defensemen.

Hutson's second-year jinx is a thing of the past.

The left-hander is so much on the minds of other teams that Bruins head coach Marco Strum told his troops to treat him as if he were Makar.

No pressure, kid.

It's a good thing Sturm started off by saying he didn't want to compare the two defensemen…

In any case, the captain of tonight's Habs opponents had some very good words for Hutson. He said, among other things, that his players should always be worried when he's on the ice, because he'll always try to beat you one-on-one.

Once again, what a choice by the organization to select him 62nd.


Overtime

– Still.

– Wow.

– To see.

– He's always been honest.

– To be continued.

– A legend.
