Canadiens rookie defenceman Lane Hutson has been averaging more than 23 minutes of ice time per game this season. The 20-year-old played 30:05 in a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and had a minus-4 differential in two of the first seven games.
Is Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis playing Hutson too much?
That’s the question answered on this Hockey Inside/Out Bonus episode as former Canadiens teammates and Stanley Cup champions Rick Green and Chris Nilan join The Gazette’s Stu Cowan. Green played 15 seasons in the NHL as a defenceman and was an assistant coach in charge of the defence for 11 seasons with the New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings and the Canadiens.
