Canadiens Likely to Get Surprise Lineup Reinforcement in the Coming Months

Since he was selected 62nd overall in 2022, Lane Hutson has been greatly impressing Montreal fans and many observers across the NHL.

Indeed, the 19-year-old defenseman is simply dominant in the NCAA, having notably broken numerous records last season with an incredible harvest of 15 goals and 33 assists (48 points) in 39 games with the Boston University Terriers.

Moreover, the American is continuing on his streak at the start of this season, with a total of six goals and three assists (nine points) in his first seven games. He also scored his first hat trick last Saturday, allowing him to win the title of player of the week in the Hockey East division for the second time this season.

While on BPM Sports, journalist Mathias Brunet made a major statement that is likely to greatly please the fans of the Montreal Canadiens. He mentioned that, from what he has heard, Lane Hutson will join Martin St-Louis' lineup once his university season is over.

"That I can tell you, it's more than a feeling: Lane Hutson, we're making room for him at the end of the year, when his season ends. [...] I'm telling you, he's coming at the end of the year!" - Mathias Brunet

Wow! Let's bet that fans would be greatly excited for him to have the opportunity to face the best hockey players in the world.

After all, if such a scenario materializes, the CH's management could get a better idea of his real progress this season. Plus, Lane would have the chance to play more games, which would surely be beneficial for the continuation of his development.
