PLAYERS TO WATCH FOR

With 64 points (6G, 58A) in 77 games this season, he only needs one more point to break the Canadiens’ single-season point record by a rookie defenseman and three more helpers to establish a new single-season NHL record for assists by a rookie defenseman. In his last five games, Hutson has registered eight points (1G, 7A).
DET: Lucas Raymond is having a career year with new personal bests in points (75) and assists (49). The left-winger is likewise three tallies away from reaching 100-career NHL goals. He has five points (2G, 3A) in his last five outings.
