Canadiens rookie defenceman Lane Hutson has blossomed into one of the top offensive defencemen in the NHL. He has already become the team’s number-one defenceman and power play quarterback.

The Montréal Canadiens sit 6th in the Atlantic Division with a record of 20-18-4. Even though they are doing better than last season, the team isn’t in a position to compete just yet.

The player who arguably may bring back the biggest return for the Montreal Canadiens at the NHL Trade Deadline is defenseman Mike Matheson.

The pairing of Hutson and Matheson goes against hockey's convetional wisdom, but Martin St. Louis is not a conventional coach.

Alex Newhook’s deflection broke a tie midway through the third period and unbeaten rookie Jakub Dobes made 32 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Dallas Stars 3-1.

The Montreal Canadiens have found a gem in Lane Hutson, and locking him down as soon as possible may quickly become priority Number 1 going into the offseason.
