• Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Lands on LTIR

  11/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hutton (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday. Hutton is week-to-week after suffering an upper-body injury in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Washington. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances while posting six shots on goal, five blocked shots and three hits. Following his placement on LTIR, Hutton won't be eligible to play until at least Dec. 12 against Winnipeg. Vegas called up forwards Jonas Rondbjerg and Mason Morelli in corresponding moves while adding Mark Stone (lower body) to injured reserve.

• Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Makes season debut

  11/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hutton had one shot on goal and one blocked shot over 13:18 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Oilers. Hutton drew into the lineup on short notice since Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) was a late scratch. When Hague was out late in October, Kaedan Korczak got the first look as a fill-in blueliner. Hutton is used to such a role by now -- he's filled it for the better part of his three years in Vegas, accumulating 31 points over 130 contests in that span. Injuries to other players have allowed him to play in over half the games in two of those three seasons, but Vegas has had fairly good health early in 2024-25, so Hutton's opportunities to play are limited.

• Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Sends two helpers in win

  10/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hutton recorded two assists, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 preseason win over the Avalanche. Hutton is making a good impression this preseason with four helpers over three appearances. The 31-year-old defenseman is unlikely to be a regular for Vegas, but he has plenty of experience as a seventh defenseman, which is the role he's filled for Vegas over the last three years. In his time with the team, he's produced 31 points in 130 contests while filling in whenever injuries arise. He may have some competition from Kaedan Korczak for that role in 2024-25.

• Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Tickles twine

  03/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hutton scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning. This was Hutton's second game in a row in the lineup after a stretch of 29 straight absences, 16 of which were due to an upper-body injury. With the Golden Knights fading, head coach Bruce Cassidy has turned to the veteran Hutton over Zach Whitecloud for a third-pairing role. Hutton has two goals, 10 points, 53 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 33 appearances, but he'll need to be good in all zones to stay in the lineup.

• Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: No path to playing time

  03/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hutton has not played since he was activated from injured reserve Feb. 12. Hutton is stuck in the unenviable role of a seventh defenseman. He nearly had a chance to get in the lineup when Alec Martinez (undisclosed) went on injured reserve, but the Golden Knights' trade for Noah Hanifin closed that door quickly. Hutton hasn't played in 2024 and has nine points through 31 outings this season.
