Bad news has emerged today regarding Lane Hutson‘s injury, according to Antoine Roussel on LCN.
And this is exactly the kind of information that can worry Canadiens fans ahead of Game 3 tonight at the Bell Centre, even if it is not “anything major.”
“He probably has bruises, but at this stage of the competition, every player is somewhat injured, you just have to block it out.”
Everyone had a scare after Hutson had enormous difficulty getting back up following the dangerous contact to his knee.
Lane Hutson is expected to play tonight, but he will not be at 100% against the Hurricanes, according to Roussel
Antoine Roussel’s verdict is also very revealing regarding expectations for tonight.
“I expect him to be there in uniform tonight, but I do not expect him to be at 100%.”
A statement that perfectly sums up the difficult reality of the NHL playoffs.
If tonight’s game were a regular season game, would Lane Hutson be in uniform?
Lane Hutson is the cornerstone of the Canadiens, according to Roussel’s own words. And seeing him play injured at such a crucial moment in the series could potentially affect all of the Canadiens’ performances.
So this will definitely be something to watch very closely tonight!
For Hutson personally, it is also probably a mental challenge to overcome.
The young star defenseman will have to manage the physical pain while continuing to deliver elite-level hockey.
Game 3 is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM tonight at the Bell Centre.
