A surprising change leaves Lane Hutson looking unsure at Canadiens practice before the Kings game
Lane Hutson surprises at Canadiens practice, as the Montreal Canadiens prepare to face the Kings in an important game this Tuesday.
There are small things that catch the eye even before a practice session begins.
The color of the tape on a stick, for example.
Some observers notice these kinds of details immediately, and that's what happened Monday morning in Brossard when Lane Hutson stepped onto the ice with black tape instead of the white he usually uses.
Journalist Marc-Olivier Cook even wrote:
"I have the odd habit of recognizing the color of the tape on a player's stick.
That said...
It's the first time I've seen Lane Hutson with black on his blade.
He doesn't look sure...and Arber noticed it too."

You can see it clearly in the small video in Brossard.
Hutson looks at his stick, takes a few seconds, as if he wants to make sure everything is perfect.
Let's be clear, it's nothing dramatic.
But for a player this meticulous, changing a detail can be a little test!
Lane Hutson searching for his bearings as the Montreal Canadiens prepare to face the Kings
The Kings, despite an overall disappointing start to the season, have won seven of their first sixteen games and have lost only twice in regulation in their last ten outings.
Corey Perry is having an excellent start, already seven goals, as you can see on his stats page here.
For his part, Philip Danault, despite his great usefulness in both directions, has not yet found the back of the net. A rather difficult start for him.
Unsurprisingly, Adrian Kempe remains the most consistent offensive threat in Jim Hiller's group.
For Hutson, this game is therefore another test.
After 15 games this season, he has one goal and 12 assists, for a total of 13 points.
As always, he contributes offensively and moves the puck well.
Tonight's game promises to be exciting!
