While disappointing for Ullmark, it is otherwise a win-win.  Get to see what Johansson can do at the NHL level, and what UPL can do in a longer stint at the AHL level.

I'll be shocked if Johansson is given a game.

Why?  Hutton is through and everyone knows it.  Even if you thought he wasn't ready for the NHL, there's no way Hutts plays every game for 3-4 weeks.

Like Doohickie says, he'll have to play at some point unless Botterill makes a trade. Hutton isn't playing 13 games in a row.

I would expect him to get one or two of Colorado, Detroit, and NYR. Colorado is probably an L on Tuesday night out of conference, so no big deal if he plays that one. Detroit is bad on a Thursday night but in conference, so maybe we hope Hutton plays well and we get a W. NYR are bad AND it's on the road, so maybe road barn away from the sour home fans is a good place to throw a rookie goalie in.

Colorado and NYR are the games I'd look for him in.

i hope they play Hutton... if you are going to Tank, lets do it right!

Ottawa, Montreal, Anaheim. We play 'em all in the next few weeks while Hutton is our #1. If you want to make up ground in the tank standings, now is the time to do it.

and for those anti tankers - if you ranked the core of the team right now it would probably be Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart as the top 3....all picked in the top 2 of their respective drafts....

Lets increase the odds of landing the 2 elite talents in this years draft as high as possible.

This is unfair to Hutton, but... he comes into the game last night and the FIRST Ottawa shot leaks through him and trickles just wide of the left post.

I expect Hutton to be used heavily while Ullmark is out.

Johansson will play after Hutton has looked terrible in several games and Ralph has no choice but to try the kid.
