Carter Hutton

Carter John Hutton (born December 19, 1985) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres and the Arizona Coyotes.

Hutton was born on December 19, 1985, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to parents John and Linda Hutton. Growing up, his father worked as a construction foreman.

Hutton played four seasons in the Superior International Junior Hockey League (SIJHL) and holds the league record for most shutouts in a season with 10, which he set during the 2005–06 SIJHL season while playing for the Fort William North Stars.

On March 26, 2010, Hutton was signed by the Philadelphia Flyers after his season in college at UMass Lowell was over. He played in four games for the Flyers American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, and dressed in several for the Flyers as Brian Boucher's backup after being called up while Johan Backlund was out with an injury.

On June 1, 2010, Hutton was signed by the San Jose Sharks as an unrestricted free agent.

On August 1, 2011, the Rockford IceHogs signed Hutton to a one-year AHL contract. During the 2011–12 season, on February 23, 2012, the Chicago Blackhawks signed Hutton to a one-year, two-way contract for the remainder of the campaign. On March 26, 2012, the Blackhawks called Hutton up to temporarily replace goaltender Ray Emery, who was out due to an illness. On April 27, 2013, he made his first NHL start against the St. Louis Blues. The Blackhawks went on to win the Stanley Cup, and Hutton was given a championship ring. He did not qualify to be engraved on the Stanley Cup and was left off the team picture.

On July 5, 2013, Hutton left the Blackhawks organization and signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Nashville Predators. He eventually became the Predators' starting goalie for most of the 2013–14 NHL season and posted a 20–11–4 record after Pekka Rinne suffered a hip infection. By December, Hutton compiled a 3-0-0 record with a 1.33 goals-against average and .960 save percentage to earn the NHL Third Star of the Week. Following a five-game winning streak at the end of the regular season, Hutton became the sixth 20-game winner in franchise history. On June 2, 2014, Hutton signed a two-year, $1.45 million contract to remain with the team.

In his final year with the Predators, Hutton was the teams' 2016 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee as a "player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey."
