Carter Hutton had a night to remember as the Buffalo Sabres knocked off the Los Angeles Kings 3-0 on Thursday.
The 33-year-old turned aside all 47 shots he faced, including 19 in the third period, to set a new franchise record for saves in a regular-season shutout.
Hutton has now recorded back-to-back shutouts after blanking the Dallas Stars on Monday. Overall, the 6-foot-1 puck-stopper is 5-0 this season with a 1.39 goals-against average and a .950 save percentage.
The Sabres record for saves in a shutout, including playoffs, belongs to Dominik Hasek, who stopped all 70 shots on goal in a win over the New Jersey Devils during the 1994 postseason.
