(Phoenix) The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired veteran goaltender Carter Hutton from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for future compensation.

The Coyotes organization announced the transaction in a brief statement released as the Maple Leafs faced the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night.
Hutton, 36, has posted a stellar 7.76 goals-against average and .741 save percentage in three games with the Coyotes this season.
The Canadian-born goalie was never drafted, but signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010 after spending time with the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
Prior to joining the Coyotes, Hutton also played for the Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabres.
He had his career-best season in his second year with the Blues, in 2017-18, when he led NHL goaltenders in save percentage (.931) and goals-against average (2 ,01) in 32 parts.
