"Honestly, I've been preparing myself for hockey to be over in some aspect for a while," said Hutton in an interview with the The Chronicle Journal.
"Ultimately, I suffered an ankle injury in early 2021, which made the decision a lot easier for me. It restricted a lot of the mobility I needed to be as effective as I once was. This, compiled with a few other things helped me decide on retirement," Hutton added.
Hutton retires with 235 games played in the NHL and a record of 94-90-27. His career goals against average is 2.76 and his save percentage is .908.
Hutton's last games in the league came with the Arizona Coyotes in 2021-22. Throughout his career, he's also suited up for the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, and Buffalo Sabres. He was never drafted, and was in his mid-20s before getting in his first NHL game. With an injury to Ray Emery, he was called up to the Chicago Blackhawks for the last two games of the season and the first five games of the playoffs. Chicago went on to win the Cup that year. While Hutton was given a championship ring, he did not qualify at the time to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup and was left out of the Blackhawks' team photo.
