Facing Islanders Hutchinson will patrol the home crease versus the Islanders on Friday, Coby Maeir of 1st Ohio Battery reports.

Impact Hutchinson has started three games and has come on in relief in three other contests this season. He is 0-2-1 with a 4.16 GAA and .875 save percentage. He will face the Islanders, who are currently holding down the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Needed in relief Sunday Hutchinson stopped 10 of 12 shots after replacing Daniil Tarasov late in the second period of Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The goalie switch didn't change things up much for Columbus in a game Vegas dominated. Hutchinson has been the Blue Jackets' de facto No. 1 while Elvis Merzlikins (personal) has been back home in Latvia, but neither of the team's netminders have been able to slow down the opposition while working behind a blue-line corps that's barely above AHL quality. Hutchinson has appeared in six of the last seven games, going 0-2-1 with a 4.17 GAA and an .875 save percentage.

Clean in relief outing Hutchinson stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of Daniil Tarasov in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.

Impact The damage was done by the time Hutchinson got into the game, and he made sure it didn't get any worse. The 33-year-old has allowed 10 goals on 88 shots across four appearances since he was traded from the Golden Knights to the Blue Jackets. It's still possible Hutchinson gets the nod for Friday's game in Anaheim, which would be favorable matchup for him as a streaming and DFS target.

Falls to Ducks Hutchinson stopped 31 of 36 shots in a 7-4 loss to the Ducks on Friday.

Impact Anaheim and Columbus traded goals all game before Hutchinson allowed what proved to be the decisive marker to Max Jones late in the third period. With the Ducks now up 5-4, Hutchinson was pulled, and Anaheim scored two empty netters. He has a 0-2-1 record, 4.07 GAA and .878 save percentage in five contests with Columbus this season. The 33-year-old also has a 2.74 GAA and an .897 save percentage in seven AHL appearances with Henderson.

Facing Blues Hutchinson will defend the home crease versus St. Louis on Saturday, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Impact Hutchinson will replace Elvis Merzlikins, who left the team Friday to be with his seriously ill grandmother in Latvia. Hutchinson will make his first start of the season and his third appearance overall. He is 0-0-1 over that span, having given up six goals on 56 shots. Hutchinson will face the Blues, who are 20th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.03 goals per game.

Takes OT loss in relief Hutchinson stopped 35 of 40 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins (illness) to begin the second period of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Columbus held a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes which it padded to 4-0 early in the second period, but Hutchinson got absolutely buried by the Pittsburgh offense down the stretch before finally getting beaten by Sidney Crosby on a Penguins power play in OT. Merzlikins doesn't seem likely to be sidelined for long, but if he does miss additional action there's no guarantee Hutchinson would assume the starting role, as Daniil Tarasov could get the call from AHL Cleveland.

Acquired by Blue Jackets Hutchinson was acquired by Columbus from Vegas on Thursday along with a 2025 seventh-round pick in exchange for Jonathan Quick.

Impact Hutchinson has a 2.74 GAA and an .897 save percentage in seven AHL games this season. He didn't play in any contests with the Golden Knights, but the 33-year-old does have a 55-55-15 record, 2.79 GAA and .905 save percentage in 137 career NHL games. Hutchinson is projected to serve as Columbus' backup goaltender behind Elvis Merzlikins.

Impact Hutchinson's recall comes after Adin Hill was banged up in Saturday's 5-4 win over Tampa Bay. It appears as though the 32-year-old netminder will be back up Laurent Brossoit on Tuesday versus Chicago, with Hill getting at least one game off to recover. Hutchinson has a 1-5-1 record with a 2.74 GAA and an .897 save percentage in seven AHL outings with the Silver Knights this campaign.
