Washington Capitals top prospect moves on to the Frozen 4 Final

The younger brother of Montreal Canadiens star Lane Hutson, Cole Hutson is an offensive defenseman with elite creativity, deception -- making him a valuable asset in the Washington Capitals prospect pipeline.

That skill was on full display last night, as the young Capitals prospect stood out as one of the game's top performers-- delivering a clutch assist that helped Boston University secure the win.

Now, the BU Terriers are set to face the formidable Western Michigan Broncos in a battle for the national championship.

Heading into the second period, the game. remained scoreless in a tight, hard-fought battle-- until BU's Matt Copponi broke the deadlock with a sharp finish from the left circle.

A few minutes later, Cole Hutson and Cole Eiserman (CAS'28) worked a two-on-one rush. Hutson drove up the left side of the ice, patiently waiting until the last second to find his classmate on the other side. Eiserman fired the puck into the open net at 10:44 for his 24th goal of the season.

After the game, Eiserman spoke to the media, emphasizing the importance of staying ready whenever he's on the ice with Huson-- because with a player like that, anything can happen.

Congratulations to Cole Hutson and the BU Terriers on advancing to the Frozen Four Final. There's no doubt he'll continue to make the Capitals organization proud.
