Lane Hutson Injury Watch Grows After Taylor Hall’s OT Hit

Montreal has a nervous wait on its hands after Taylor Hall’s hit left Lane Hutson’s status in question during an overtime loss to Carolina. That is the kind of play that turns a postgame room from annoyed to flat-out tense, because the Canadiens do not have much margin when a key defenseman goes down. The team now has to sort out how serious the damage is and whether it will cost them more than just one rough night.
