The redemption of Ben Hutton is complete.
Or is it? Will he play as much tonight and in the coming games as he has been the last month?
Hosting the LA Kings on Tuesday night head coach Travis Green chose to use “Hutty’ as a top pairing defenceman. That’s been the pattern for more than a month.
When Canucks #1 Defenceman Alex Edler went out with injury on the 24th of October versus the Golden Knights, Hutton played over 29 minutes in that game. For the next month, Hutton was Green’s choice on the left side over Derek Pouliot and Green’s pet last year Michael Del Zotto.
