Hutton was one of four Ducks' players that was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, putting Wednesday's game in jeopardy. With Hutton likely unavailable vs. the Wild, look for Andy Welkinski to draw into the lineup.
Hutton will come out of the Kings lineup Sunday vs. the Oilers, so Joakim Ryan will draw back in. Consider Hutton day-to-day.
After four years and 276 NHL games with the Canucks, Hutton is going to the Kings on a one-year deal. The 26-year-old left-shot defenseman had 20 points (5G / 15A) in 69 games last season and provides Los Angeles with a little depth while Derek Forbort recovers from a back injury.
Hutton suffered an apparent foot injury late in Sunday’s loss in Vegas. Since the start of February, Hutton ranks third in the NHL in TOI/GP (26:42) trailing just Drew Doughty and Ryan Suter, so this is a huge loss for the Canucks blueline. Vancouver recalled Guillaume Brisebois from Utica (AHL) to replace Hutton on Tuesday.
Hutton was a healthy scratch in the first two games of the season but will replace Michael Del Zotto tonight in Carolina. Hutton’s numbers have gotten worse each season, culminating in just six assists in 61 games last season.
Hutton has been out since March 14th, but will be back in tonight vs. the Coyotes. Hutton has had a tough season, picking up just six assists and is running out of time to pick up his first goal.
Hutton has been scratched for the last two games but will return tonight in Florida. Hutton has just six assists in 45 games this season. He will replace Derrick Pouliot on the blueline.
Hutton missed Saturday’s game with what was believed to be mumps, but he was misdiagnosed. Hutton is feeling better and will suit up tonight vs. the Red Wings. He comes into Tuesday with four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 50 games this season.
Hutton has been sidelined by a fracture in his hand since January 6th, but will be back in tonight in Nashville. Hutton has collected 11 points (4G / 7A) in 41 games so far this season. Philip Larsen will be the healthy scratch with Hutton returning.
Hutton will miss his fifth consecutive game on Tuesday and will miss at least three weeks. With Hutton out until at least early-February, look for Alex Biega to remain in the lineup going forward.
Hutton was held out of Saturday’s game in Calgary and head coach Willie Desjardins said that Hutton will be “out for a bit.” The Canucks had to play with five defenseman on Saturday, so expect them to recalled someone before Tuesday’s game.
