Hutson dished out three assists and placed three shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.
Analysis:After being held off the scoresheet by the Maple Leafs on Opening Night, Hutson notched three points Saturday, factoring in on goals scored by Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki and Ivan Demidov. Hutson finished in the top three for assists among defensemen with 66 helpers across 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26. The 22-year-old blueliner scored 78 points last season and could challenge that career high here in his third full season.
