Defenseman Lane Hutson scored a goal and added two assists to lead the Boston University Terriers to a 5-2 victory over the UMass-Amherst Minutemen on Friday.
The Canadiens prospect missed his club’s last meeting last Saturday due to an upper body injury.
Nothing appeared for the 19-year-old left-back, who multiplied the spectacular feints on his return to training.
Finalist for the Hobey-Baker Trophy last year in his freshman season, Hutson has two goals and three assists for five points in four games.
Named first star of the evening, Hutson conceded that he still has to wait before finding his best form.
“I felt good, good enough to play. But definitely not 100%,” he said.
Center Macklin Celebrini, tipped to be selected first overall in the 2024 draft, also stood out by threading the needle in front of his new fans.
The youngest player to play in NCAA Division 1 this season, the Canadian forward has already scored six goals in five games, in addition to taking nearly five shots on goal on average.
The Minutemen are one of the Terriers’ fiercest rivals in the NCAA Hockey East division.
Furthermore, another skater from the CH organization, winger Luke Tuch, added a goal in an empty net. He has four points in his last two games.
Still in the state of Massachusetts, goaltender Jacob Fowler, 69th overall pick in the last auction by the Habs, helped the Boston College Eagles 5 to 1 over the Michigan State Spartans.
Fowler escaped what would have been his first shutout in the American collegiate ranks midway through the third period.
