Maple Leafs acquire goalie Michael Hutchinson

That was fast! With Frederik Andersen out with an injury forcing the Leafs to use Garret Sparks twice on back-to-back nights and with no option but Kasimir Kaskisuo or Eamon McAdam to call up, the Leafs made a move.

Michael Hutchinson is not a prospect, rather he’s a proven AHL goalie with a lot of experience as an NHL backup. He is 28, and was drafted originally by the Boston Bruins, but we shouldn’t hold that against him.

He played in the Winnipeg Jets organization for five years, largely as their backup seeing around 30 starts a year.
