Carter Hutton News

The Maple Leafs have acquired Carter Hutton from the Coyotes for future considerations.

Hutton recently cleared waivers, so he will be sent to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) immediately. Hutton struggled in his only three starts of the season, allowing 15 goals on 58 shots (.741 SV%).

Hutton will miss 2-to-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.

Hutton left Monday's game vs. the Panthers and is expected to miss at least two games with a lower-body injury. With Hutton out, Karel Vejmelka will take over as the Coyotes No.1 option and Josef Korenar will likely come up to be his backup.

Hutton is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

Hutton was hurt early in last Monday's game in New York and is expected to miss at least a few weeks with a lower-body injury. Luckily for the Sabres, Linus Ullmark returned recently and will be leaned on as their No.1 with Dustin Tokarski as this backup.

Hutton led the Sabres onto the ice for warmups.

Hutton allowed five goals on 27 shots in the Sabres’ loss to the Capitals on opening night. It was a tough start for the veteran netminder, who earned the first game after a strong training camp. Linus Ullmark was scheduled to start tonight but was scratched due to personal reasons, so Hutton gets the nod in the final hours and draws a tough assignment in Philadelphia.
