Lane Hutson delivered an impressive performance for the Montreal Canadiens following a long road trip, contributing a goal and two assists in their 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Hutson's standout effort came during the third period and overtime, helping the Canadiens secure a playoff position for the first time this season.
The game marked a return home after a successful 4-1-0 road trip, and Hutson's younger brother, Cole, provided inspiration with his success at the world junior championship, tallying significant points for Team USA.
Despite initial struggles, the Canadiens have surged, winning eight of their last ten games. Hutson's performance showcased his growth, as he became the fastest defenceman in franchise history to reach 30 points in just 42 games, surpassing Chris Chelios's previous record.
