He is believed to be on the verge of joining his brother, Cole, to represent the United States at the IIHF World Championship.
"With his tremendous rookie season ending tonight, don't be surprised to see Lane Hutson join his brother on Team USA for the World Championships.
The team has seemingly held a spot for him."
