Lane Hutson, the Montreal Canadiens` promising rookie defenseman, is deeply affected by his first defeat in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Even with two assists in his debut playoff game, Hutson focused on his mistakes in Monday`s Game 1 loss to the Washington Capitals, wishing he could have contributed more to a victory.
Hutson was closely trailing Alex Ovechkin when the Capitals` superstar scored the overtime goal. After the game, Hutson accepted responsibility for the decisive goal.
`I made two critical errors in coverage, and they capitalized,` Hutson admitted. `This is a learning moment for me, although it`s painful that it happened at such a crucial time.`
