"I'm ready to rock here," Hutton said. "I'm excited to get back and chip in… It was frustrating (with the injury). I thought I was playing well at the time. Jake's gone in and played great, so it's awesome. When I left, we were out of the playoffs and now we're in, so it's great. I'm pumped to get back in and help out."
"We anticipated he'd be ready for full participation this week," Blues Head Coach Mike Yeo said of Hutton. "It's good to have him back."
Yeo said there was no plan regarding goalie starts past Tuesday's game against the San Jose Sharks.
Before the injury, Hutton had appeared in 30 games for the Blues, posting a 16-7-3 record along with a 2.02 goals-against average, a .934 save-percentage and three shutouts.
