Buffalo goaltender Carter Hutton exited the Sabres’ Monday road game against the New York Rangers after injuring his left leg in a collision less than three minutes into the first period.
With 17:07 remaining, New York’s Julien Gauthier crashed the net on a rush as he was pursued by Buffalo defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. Hutton came out of the crease to position himself for a save, and Ristolainen pushed Gauthier into Hutton, who fell to the ice behind the net.

Hutton made two saves before getting injured.
Hutton entered Monday with a 1-10-1 record and a 3.48 goals-against average in 12 games.
