Young Lane Hutson finally scored his first career goal in the National Hockey League, and it truly created a magical scene.
We were just talking about the instant reaction of Cole Caufield and also Mike Matheson:
But that's not all.
We didn't see it on TV at the time, but head coach Martin St-Louis also had a very special reaction following Lane Hutson's goal.
A truly remarkable reaction that says a lot.
It's rare to see a head coach react like this after a goal, but in this case, it was simply perfect.
Check out the footage:
It's well-deserved for Lane Hutson, and it's heartwarming to see such a reaction on the Montreal Canadiens bench.
It speaks volumes and could provide a little magical spark for several players.
Lane Hutson, 20 years old, has already amassed 20 points in 29 games this season, including 19 assists, and he is clearly a steal from the 2022 NHL Draft.
Let's not forget he was selected 62nd overall by the Canadiens, in a draft held in Montreal, no less.
I like his chances of being named the best rookie of the 2024-2025 season if he keeps playing like this.
