Hutson scored twice and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Predators.
Hutson showed the value in his shot in this contest. He picked a corner on his first goal and then tallied again in the second period to put the Capitals ahead 3-2. This was his first career multi-goal game and the first multi-point effort of his campaign. Hutson has four goals, three helpers, 25 shots on net, 12 hits, eight blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating across 12 appearances this season.

Hutson recorded a power-play goal and placed three shots on net in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.
Hutson gave the Capitals a 2-0 first-period lead with a power-play goal. The 20-year-old blueliner is up to five points, 22 shots on net, two power-play points, six hits and seven blocked shots across nine appearances. He appears to have been given the keys to the team's second power-play unit, which should help him stay relevant in fantasy from his third-line pairing role at even strength. With nearly one hit and one blocked shot per game, he should be a solid source of category coverage during his rookie campaign.

Hutson tallied a goal, placed three shots on net, recorded two blocked shots and served four PIM in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Hutson carried his momentum from the end of the 2025-26 campaign into the new season. He found the back of the net just 11:33 into the Capitals' Opening Night matchup. The 20-year-old blueliner was excellent at the end of the 2025-26 campaign, posting three goals and 10 points across 14 regular-season outings. He has a high offensive ceiling from the blue line, which could lead to increased power-play opportunities. Hutson projects as a solid fantasy option in standard leagues for the rest of his first full NHL season.

Hutson is expected to step into the lineup for the Capitals during the 2026-27 campaign, Tony Ferrari of The Hockey News reports.
Hutson was a second-round pick by the Capitals in 2024, and he made his NHL debut late in the 2025-26 campaign. Across 14 regular-season appearances with Washington, he racked up three goals, seven assists, 16 hits, eight PIM and six blocked shots while averaging 17:27 of ice time. He'll retain his rookie status during the 2026-27 season and should have the opportunity to carve out regular playing time at the NHL level.
