Hutson Adds an Assist, But the Power Play Still Has Work

Lane Hutson picked up a power-play assist in Game 5, and fantasy managers will notice the production even in a loss. That is the kind of line that tells you a player is still finding ways to matter when the game does not break his team’s way. The numbers are useful, but the larger question is how much this role can keep expanding when the pressure rises. In the NHL, a useful skill set can become a real weapon fast, especially when the puck starts spending more time on your stick.
