Hutton will defend the cage on the road against the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hutton enters the 2021-22 season as the clear No. 1 between the pipes after being relegated to the backup role with Buffalo last year. Fantasy players probably shouldn't expect 25-year-old Karel Vejmelka to challenge Hutton for starts, which means the veteran could see upward of 55-60 games this year.
