Golden Knights sign Hutton to 2-year extension

The Vegas Golden Knights signed defenseman Ben Hutton to a two-year contract extension worth $975,000 per season, the team announced Friday.

Hutton joined the Golden Knights in 2021 on a one-year deal, then re-upped with a two-year pact last March.

The 30-year-old has made 177 appearances with the club, racking up 29 points while averaging 15:47 of ice time per contest. Hutton dressed for two playoff games during Vegas' march to the Stanley Cup this past spring.

The Vancouver Canucks picked Hutton in the fifth round in 2012. He's also suited up for the Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, and Toronto Maple Leafs throughout his nine-year career.
