Capitals' Cole Hutson: Earns first multi-point game
Rotowire
Hutson logged two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Hutson has had little trouble adjusting to the NHL so far, earning a goal and four assists, all on the power play, over his first six games. The 19-year-old defenseman has added eight shots on net, eight hits and a minus-2 rating. Hutson is seeing sheltered minutes on the third pairing for now, especially since the Capitals' blue line is a strength for the team, but his upside is already obvious. He'll be a popular late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts next fall for managers who expect him to follow the example his older brother, Lane Hutson, established as a rookie in 2024-25 with the Canadiens.

Rotowire
Hutson scored a power-play empty-net goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
Hutson logged 16:24 of ice time and handled bottom-four minutes in his NHL debut, capping it off with the Capitals' second empty-netter. The 19-year-old blueliner won't be asked to do too much and may not be a lock to play every game down the stretch. He will primarily compete with Declan Chisholm and Timothy Liljegren for a spot in the lineup. Prior to turning pro, Hutson put up 32 points in 35 contests with Boston University this season.
