Hutson Logs the Night's Longest Shift Sheet in Montréal's Home Loss

Lane Hutson played more than anyone else in a Canadiens sweater on Saturday and had nothing to show for it on the scoresheet. The Montréal defenceman finished without a point and was minus 2 as the Avalanche won 4-1 at the Bell Centre.

Hutson's 27:04 of ice time over 22 shifts was the most among Montréal's 18 skaters and the most among its six defencemen. That is about two minutes above his season average of 24.9 minutes a game.

He did put pucks on the net, with three shots on goal, and he blocked one shot. He had no hits, no takeaways and no giveaways, and he took no penalties. He had no power-play points.

It was a quiet night by his standards. He has 3 goals and 15 assists in 20 games this season, and he came in at plus 5. A minus 2 in a loss is a departure from that, though one game doesn't say much beyond the result.

Montréal is still 12-3-4 and first in the Atlantic Division.
