Since November 27th, Hutson has the most assists among all dmen, with 24. Theodore, Werenski and Hughes have 22. He's 6th leaguewide for assists since that date, with only Marner, Kucherov, MacKinnon, McDavid and Crosby doing better.

He's 3 assists behind the D leader on the season.

It is the sheltered 20+ minutes he plays a game on our franchise.

I just looked at NHL.com at rookie totals and noticed...

Lane Hutson - 46 games 35 assists
Every other rookie D combined (27 players) - 342 games 42 assists

Now i understand why The Athletic crowd don't list him on their "best 700 NHL's players" list

Apparently, the main board mouth breathers have gone, over the course of about three or four weeks, from Michkov's calder, to Celebrini being the clear winner by 90% to Wolf.

Meanwhile, Hutson is pacing for a top 3 season in NHL rookie defenseman scoring history.

Hutson just tied the record for the longest point streak (9 games) by a rookie defenseman previously hold by Gostisbehere. Hopefully he will set a new record in Detroit.

Meanwhile, Hutson is pacing for a top 3 season in NHL rookie defenseman scoring history.

Especially, he's on pace to completely shatter the rookie defenseman assists record.

Record is 60.

He has 36 in 47 games, pacing for 63 assists on the season, but more importantly, he has 25 assists in his last 26 and if he keeps that pace, he could go up to 68-70 assists.
