Hutchinson is on track to start Thursday's game against the Flyers, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Analysis:

Hutchinson was the first goalie off the ice following the Jets' morning skate, which lines him up to start Thursday night. He has not taken the ice since Jan. 21, but is currently riding a four-game winning streak. Hutchinson's biggest enemy at the moment has been coach Paul Maurice, who continues to alternate starts between his two goalies, despite Ondrej Pavelec's ongoing struggles. Eventually, Hutchinson's superior numbers (14-4-2, 1.90 GAA, .935 save percentage) should result in him gaining some separation from Pavelec.
