Arizona Coyotes goaltender Carter Hutton will be sidelined for the next 2-4 weeks with a lower-body injury. Hutton suffered the injury in the opening frame and did not return to the game after the first intermission. The 35-year-old (owned in 2% of Yahoo! league) is not off to a great start in his debut season in Arizona - having posted a 7.76 goals-against average and a .741 save percentage in three starts thus far. Expect rookie goaltender Karel Vejmelkla to handle starting duties for as long as Hutton is on the shelf.
Carter Hutton Looks To Bounce Back Versus St. Louis
Arizona Coyotes goaltender Carter Hutton will hope to avoid another nightmare on Monday as he takes on St. Louis. The 35-year-old veteran got badly roughed up in the team's season opener as Columbus put eight pucks past him with 26 shots. Hutton, who played for the Blues a few seasons back, didn't exactly have a great time last term either, going 1-10-1 with the Sabres. He finished the season with a 3.47 goals-against average and a .886 save percentage. Hutton has managed to beat the Blues just once in eight outings since leaving the team and his chances on Monday don't look too good.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton lasted only 2:53 in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers, exiting with a lower-body injury. Dustin Tokarski came in and made 33 saves in his first NHL game since 2016. Sabres coach Don Granato said that Hutton has traveled with the team to Pittsburgh, so he might have escaped a serious issue, but we'll have to wait and see. Buffalo faces the Penguins on Wednesday night. Losing Hutton will be another bitter pill to swallow for the Sabres, who already have Linus Ullmark (lower body) on the shelf. The team lost its 14th consecutive game on Monday.
Carter Hutton Between The Pipes For Saturday's Action
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton will make his ninth start of the season on Saturday against Pittsburgh. The veteran netminder had a solid start to the season, but he owns a poor 1-7-1 record with a 3.40 goals-against average and a .883 save percentage. The Sabres have dropped nine in a row and are in all kinds of trouble, so fantasy managers should steer clear of Hutton. The Penguins have already notched one big win in the matchup this week.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton left Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Philadelphia early with an unspecified injury. He collided into Ivan Provorov early in the second period before leaving in the middle of the frame. Hutton saved 19 of 20 shots before he was forced to exit. Jonas Johansson came on to replace him and gave up one goal on nine shots against. Hutton's injury is horrible news for the Sabres, as they are already without Linus Ullmark (personal). Johansson is an unproven goalie in the league who made his first six career appearances last season. Buffalo will hope that Ullmark returns soon and Hutton's issue isn't a long-term injury.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton will take the crease as his team faces off against the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. The 35-year-old, starting his second game of the campaign, is looking to put his first start in the rear-view mirror - an appearance in which he allowed five goals on 25 shots versus the Washington Capitals. Hutton is looking to rebound from a trying second season in Buffalo in which he posted just 12 wins, a 3.18 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage in 31 appearances. Tasked with shutting down a potent Flyers offense, Hutton doesn't serve as a recommended streaming option on Monday.
