"Cole recorded his point by burying an empty-net goal against the Ottawa Senators with just 26 seconds remaining in regulation. In doing so, Hutson and his older brother, Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson, joined a small group of brothers over the last 30 years to both record a point in their NHL debut."
"While it took Lane 31 games to score his first goal, he did grab an assist in his debut for the Canadiens against the Detroit Red Wings on April 15, 2024. The 22-year-old blueliner notched two assists in his first two games for the Habs. He then exploded for 66 points (6g, 60a) in his full rookie campaign, winning the 2025 Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year."
"Before the Hutson brothers could claim the feat, the Finnish Raty brothers were the most recent to do so. Aku, a 2019 fifth-round pick, picked up an assist for the Arizona Coyotes on April 17, 2024. His younger brother, Aatu, a 2021 second-round pick, scored his first NHL goal in his debut for the New York Islanders on December 23, 2022."
Cole Hutson scored an empty-net goal in his NHL debut for the Washington Capitals against Ottawa with 26 seconds remaining. This achievement made him and his older brother Lane Hutson, a Montreal Canadiens defenseman, part of an exclusive group of brother pairs to record points in their NHL debuts over the past 30 years. Lane recorded an assist in his debut on April 15, 2024, and went on to win the 2025 Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year with 66 points in his full rookie season. Other brother pairs accomplishing this feat include the Finnish Raty brothers and the O'Reilly siblings, though their subsequent NHL careers varied significantly in longevity and success.
