Hutson Snipes One Even-Strength Goal as Habs Edge Jets Outdoors
The Montréal defenceman also blocked three shots in a 2-1 road win at the Heritage Classic in Winnipeg.
Lane Hutson scored at even strength in the second period, 7:19 in, and Montréal held on to beat the Jets 2-1 in Winnipeg.
The defenceman finished with one goal, no assists and a plus 1 rating. He logged 21:12 of ice time over 25 shifts, third among Montréal skaters and third among the team's six defencemen. He put one shot on goal, with six shot attempts in total, and blocked three shots.
It was his third goal of the season, and it lifts his total to 10 points in 11 games.
Over the season, his 25.5 minutes a game is above tonight's total, so he played less than his season average. He had no power-play points, and no giveaways, hits or penalties on the night.
