Overview
- Edmonton brought the winger up Monday using an open roster spot, so no corresponding move was needed.
- He is expected to make his 2025–26 debut Tuesday against the Penguins.
- Hutson has 16 goals and 28 points in 24 AHL games, including 10 goals over his last 10 outings.
- The call-up aims to boost a thin bottom six, with McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman and the injured Roslovic combining for 47% of the team’s goals.
- How head coach Kris Knoblauch deploys him will likely determine his stay, after other young forwards saw limited minutes earlier this season.
