Cole Hutson Is Piling Up Points
Despite the Caps’ abysmal 7-4 loss to the Devils on Saturday, Cole Hutson had three assists, becoming the first NHL rookie defenseman to have three helpers in a game since his brother Lane did it back in 2025 for the Montreal Canadiens.
More impressively, Hutson’s 15 points are now second best on the team, one behind Dylan Strome. Hutson has five goals and ten assists.
Isn’t this a pleasant surprise? He’s a 20 year old defenseman with 32 career games, and he’s second on the team in points on a team with Alex Tuch, Ryan Leonard, Aliaksei Protas, Jordan Kyrou, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Tom Wilson.
