He has a career record of 94 wins, 88 losses and 27 overtime losses. The Thunder Bay, Ontario has a career goals-against-average of 2.71 and save percentage of .909. Hutton also has 13 career shutouts in his nearly decade-long career.<\/p>\n<p>He signed as an undrafted free agent out of the UMass-Lowell program in the NCAA. Hutton was an All Hockey East Conference second team goalie in the 2009-10 season. He signed with the Philadelphia Flyers out of college.<\/p>\n<p>The 35-year-old had a down season last year with the Sabres with a 1-10-1 record. He had a 3.47 goals-against-average and an .886 save percentage. He only appeared in 13 games last season in an injury-riddled and crowded Sabres crease.<\/p>\n<p>His best season was in the 2013-14 season when he took over for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/rinnepe01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pekka Rinne<\/a> that campaign. The Finnish netminder was out of action most the season due to a hip infection.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Hutton will get a fresh start in the Southwest with a Coyotes team also in a rebuild. He likely won&#8217;t have to carry the ball too much, but he can fill in for a few starts. He&#8217;ll likely be the second goalie behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kuempda01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darcy Kuemper<\/a>. However, he may get called into the net more if Kuemper does get traded to a contender.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t a good tenure in Buffalo for Hutton, but many goalies have struggled in that never-ending rebuild. The pressure will likely be off Hutton and he can focus on being the backup behind one of the more entrenched goalies in the league.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"yMIMT9noScNK6mQtkLzQmg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1308514656\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'yMIMT9noScNK6mQtkLzQmg',sig:'q2WvpF0F_11clOc48m-5iHOME-hAuUf7-6X4CgbhoZw=',w:'594px',h:'412px',items:'1308514656',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arizona Coyotes have signed unrestricted free agent goalie Carter Hutton to a one-year contract worth $750,000 per season.
