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

Hutton suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's game versus the Kings, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.
Hutton logged just 6:37 of ice time prior to the injury, blocking three shots. The 30-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's Winter Classic in Seattle. If Hutton can't play, Brayden Pachal figures to enter the lineup on the third pairing for his first game action since Dec. 15.

Hutton signed a two-year, $1.95 million contract extension with Vegas on Friday.
Hutton has a goal, eight points, nine hits and 37 blocks in 28 contests this season.

Hutton set up a Jonathan Marchessault tally in the second period to tie the game at 1-1. While he's listed on the top pairing, Hutton saw just 15:13 of ice time in this contest.

Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Manages helper
Hutton notched an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Jets.
Hutton helped out on William Karlsson's opening tally in the first period.

Hutton has two assists, nine shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over six outings this season. He's a fine veteran fill-in on the third pairing, but he won't play consistently enough to justify consideration in fantasy.

Golden Knights' Ben Hutton: Registers assist Thursday
Hutton notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Hutton was credited with the secondary helper on Nicolas Roy's goal late in the third period.

The defenseman produced eight points in 31 outings in 2022-23. The 30-year-old should remain in a third-pairing role at least until one of Alec Martinez or Zach Whitecloud gets cleared to return to the lineup.
