The New York Islanders were back at practice on Tuesday at Northwell Health Ice Center following a pair of days off and a four games in seven-night stretch.
Defenseman Ben Hutton was signed to a PTO on Monday and was on the ice with the Isles.
Hutton has played 575 games over 11 NHL seasons that spans five different NHL teams including the Vegas Golden Knights where he won a Stanley Cup in 2023.
Hutton has gone over a month without being on with an NHL team after being on an PTO with the Ottawa Senators in late September and is looking to maximize his opportunity with the Islanders.
“It's been a whirlwind,” Hutton said. “Never really experienced something like this. Been in the league for a little time now, and thought I had a good year, nothing came of it. I just kept my work boots on and staying ready, and waiting for an opportunity, and here we are now so got to make the most of it.”
