NHL regular season, career
Wikipedia career statistics table, through 2025–26How Hutson plays
Lane Hutson gives the Canadiens a left-shot defenseman whose game is built on moving the puck rather than winning physical battles. Opponents try to close his time and space early because once he has the puck, he looks to advance it. His NHL regular-season totals are heavily assist-weighted, with 128 assists and 146 points. That imbalance is the scouting report. Keep him from getting his head up and force him to defend without the puck.
Hutson plays for the Montreal Canadiens in the NHL and represents the United States internationally. Montreal drafted him, and he began his NHL career with the Canadiens. His role is defense, and he shoots left. The Canadiens use him as a defenseman who can be trusted with the puck, while rivals try to make him defend deep in his own zone.
