Michael Hutchinson News

Hutchinson allowed three goals on 13 shots after replacing Frederik Andersen as the Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 lead to lose to Florida on Monday. Hutchinson has been better since Christmas, but that's hardly saying much. Over that stretch, he is 3-3-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .886 SV% in six games but is a putrid 1-6-0 with a 4.73 GAA and .861 SV% on the road this year, so there's not much to like about him in New York tonight.

Hutchinson allowed four goals on 17 shots after replacing Frederik Andersen in the Maple Leafs 8-4 loss in Florida on January 12th. Hutchinson won his first two starts after the Christmas break but has now allowed seven goals on the last 33 shots (.788 SV%) that he's faced. If you're desperate, he is a decent option with the Senators in town on a back-to-back.

Hutchinson stopped 29 of 30 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Red Wings last Saturday. Hutchinson finally won his first game of the season and will get a chance to string two together tonight in New Jersey. The Devils have gone 3-6-1 while scoring 2.50 goals per game in 10 games since the coaching change.

Hutchinson struggled with the Maple Leafs, going 0-5-1 with a 4.44 GAA and .879 SV% in six games and was eventually sent to the Marlies. He played much better down there, going 3-0-0 with a 1.95 GAA and .942 SV%, earning himself another shot in the NHL, this time with Sheldon Keefe behind the bench.

Hutchinson allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs loss in Washington last Wednesday. As per usual, Hutchinson is expected to start the second game of a back-to-back and draws a terrible matchup in Boston. Hutchinson has gone 0-1-1 while allowing nine goals on 74 shots (.878 SV%) in his two starts this year. Leave Hutchinson on free agency on Tuesday.

Hutchinson stopped all five shots that he faced after replacing Frederik Andersen in the Maple Leafs blowout loss to the Lightning last Thursday. In his first start, Hutchinson gave up five goals on 42 shots and draws his tough road matchup in Washington. The Capitals have started the year at 3-2-2 while averaging 3.14 GF/gm (16th in the NHL).

With Frederik Andersen starting last night in Columbus, head coach Mike Babcock will turn to Hutchinson on the tail-end of this early-season back-to-back. Hutchinson played very few games for the Maple Leafs a season ago, going 2-3-0 with a 2.64 GAA and .914 SV% in five starts. His first of 2019-20 will come against a Montreal team that lost 4-3 in a shootout in Carolina in their first game.

Hutchinson started the 2018-19 season with the Panthers before being acquired by Toronto where he was 14-7-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .910 SV% in 23 games with the Marlies (AHL). He appeared in five games with the Maple Leafs, going 2-3-0 with a 2.64 GAA and .914 SV% and has a legitimate chance at being Frederik Andersen’s backup in 2019-20.

Hutchinson has performed well for the Marlies, going 14-5-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .910 SV% in 23 games. During a brief stint with the Maple Leafs earlier in the year, Hutchinson was 2-3-0 with a 2.64 GAA and .914 SV% in five games. It looks like Hutchinson is simply added insurance as the Leafs head into the playoffs, but don’t be surprised if he starts the season finale after Garret Sparks’ struggles continued on Tuesday.

Hutchinson allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Predators on Monday. Hutchinson has gone 1-2-0 while allowing a combined eight goals on 94 shots (.915 SV%). Tonight he will meet a Devils squad that has won four of their last seven (4-3-0) and 11-4-4 on home-ice.
