The 19-year-old defender made his season debut for Boston University against Long Island University on Saturday night, notching his first two points (1g, 1a) of the year in a 4-2 win. Hutson, a 2024 second-round pick of the Washington Capitals, scored the game-winning goal, a highlight-reel tally with 12:49 remaining in the third period. After receiving the puck at the blueline, Hutson made a head-fake move around an advancing LIU forward and fired a blistering wrister to the top shelf from the left faceoff dot.
Hutson had an unbelievable freshman season with Boston University, notching 48 points (14g, 34a) in 39 games, leading all NCAA freshmen in scoring.
Marek noted that Hutson is likely to continue his college career at Boston University rather than signing with the Washington Capitals, emphasizing the importance of further development.
