A major acquisition is reportedly on the verge of being confirmed by the Montreal Canadiens. It could be finalized in the coming hours.

Indeed, the season of one of the club's top prospects, Lane Hutson, is now officially over after a loss in the semi-finals of the Frozen Four.

His team from Boston University lost the match in overtime, ending the journey of the second-round pick in 2022 in the NCAA.

«It's over! Boston University loses in overtime and Lane Hutson's NCAA season (career) is now finished. We can expect him to sign his entry-level contract with the #CH in the coming days and play the 2 games against Detroit!» - Marc-Olivier Beaudoin

With three games left to play before the end of the regular season for the Canadiens, it will be interesting to see what Kent Hughes's plan is for his defensive gem.

Remember that Martin St-Louis's team will play on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, before ending the campaign with two games in as many nights against the Detroit Red Wings on Monday and Tuesday next week.

Hutson, a native of Michigan, will have the Monday match in Detroit. It seems like the perfect moment for him to start his professional career.
