Just back from Sweden, where he helped the United States win its sixth gold medal in its history at the World Junior Championships, defenseman Len Hutson was with the Boston University Terriers on Tuesday night.

Hutson, a clear Hobey-Baker Cup candidate after reaching the finals last year, helped the Terriers to their 13th Round 17 win of the season.
He scored his goal against the Huskies at the beginning of the second half. The Canadian used his agility to get into the middle of the slot and fire a wrist shot into the top corner, leaving the opposing goalkeeper no chance.
He now has 20 points (9-14) in 16 games in his second NCAA campaign.
Hutson was named on Tuesday alongside Sweden's Tom Wilander, who was his opponent in the World Junior Championships final four days ago.
On Monday, while in an interview at waiting roomCH general manager Kent Hughes stated that Hutson's next goal is to reach the Frozen Four and win the national championship.
After that, according to Hughes, the 19-year-old full-back will be considered to sign his first professional contract.
