Lane Hutson: his mother admits her son’s size still worries her

Lane Hutson enjoyed great success in his first year in the NHL. The defenseman showed that his offensive creativity would allow him to shine in the Bettman circuit, collecting 66 points and winning the Calder Trophy.He surpassed everyone’s expectations.That said, the one thing that always gets people talking about the defenseman is, of course, his small stature.

‘s absence from yesterday’s practice is understandable, as he
won’t be available until late September or even early October. He should therefore be able to play between 0 and 4 games before the end of the 2025 season. https://t.co/RLQHbNZKt3 –Maxime Truman (@MaximeTruman) August 21, 2025

He’s hitting at the same pace as in his MVP year… and nobody could have predicted that. https://t.co/2l4RgH65Nr –
