It was a new look Michael Hutchinson that took to the ice in training camp today.
With a new two-year contract signed earlier in the summer, Hutchinson had a new mask designed and new dark equipment ordered in for 2016-2017.
"I've been working with the same painter for a few years, and he's unbelievably creative," said the 26-year-old Hutchinson. "I just like something that's simple and easy to see from far away. We talked and we liked how the matte wooden finish worked out a couple years ago. So we decided to go with a matte finish again.
"From there, he just came up with an amazing design and the colours really kind of pop and go with the jersey."
