Hutson Breaks NHL Record, Montreal Pushes Playoff Bid
Description
Lane Hutson, a Montreal Canadiens defenseman, made history by breaking the NHL record for most assists by a blueliner in their first 150 games. With 116 assists in 147 games, he surpassed Hall of Famer Sergei Zubovs previous record. Hutsons record-breaking assist came in a win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he also set up the opening goal and extended his career-high road point streak to nine games. This season, Hutson has 66 points in 64 games, placing him among the leagues top defensemen. He has also reached other milestones, such as becoming the fourth-fastest American defenseman to 100 career points and the quickest Canadiens blueliner to 100 points before age 22. With about 18 games left in the season, Hutson has the opportunity to chase more franchise records as the Canadiens push for the Eastern Conference playoffs.
