Despite loss, Hutchinson and Avalanche have come a long way Despite their game seven loss to the Dallas Stars, the Colorado Avalanche, and their surprise starter Michael Hutchinson, have many reasons...
Falls in overtime Hutchinson allowed five goals on 35 shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to Dallas in Game 7.
Impact Hutchinson, making his third straight start in place of the injured Pavel Francouz (undisclosed), was done in by a Joel Kiviranta hat trick and a pair of Alexander Radulov power-play goals. The 30-year-old Hutchinson struggled in a backup role with Toronto during the regular season before being acquired by the Avalanche at the trade deadline. He made one regular-season start and four playoff appearances for Colorado.

In goal for Game 7 Hutchinson will get the starting nod for Friday's Game 7 against the Stars, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.
Impact In two starts and one relief appearance since taking over for the injured Pavel Francouz (undisclosed), Hutchinson has been rock solid, as he has stopped 61 of 65 shots faced (.938 save percentage). Despite not having their first two netminders, the Avs have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-1 in the series, thanks in large part to the play of Hutchinson. Backed by an offense converting at a 4.00 goals-per-game rate, the Ontario native doesn't have to be perfect, just good enough.

Evens series with Game 6 win Hutchinson allowed just one goal on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Stars in Game 6.
Impact Hutchinson has filled in admirably since Pavel Francouz (undisclosed) has been out. In two starts (both wins), Hutchinson has allowed four goals on 62 shots. The 30-year-old would likely get the nod again in Friday's Game 7 if Francouz remains unavailable.

Set for Game 6 start Hutchinson will start between the pipes for Wednesday's Game 6 against Dallas, Adrian Dater of ColoradoHockeyNow.com reports.
Impact With Pavel Francouz still dealing with an injury issue, Hutchinson will step into the crease for the second straight game. In Monday's Game 5, Hutchinson stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 6-3 win. The 30-year-old will need to be in top form with his team down 3-2 in the series.

Picks up win Monday Hutchinson stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 6-3 win over the Stars in Game 5.
Impact With Pavel Francouz deemed unfit to play, Hutchinson stepped into the crease and turned in a strong performance in his first career playoff start. He was aided by the Avalanche's five-goal outburst in the first period to give him plenty of cushion. Should Francouz remain out for Wednesday's Game 6, Hutchinson will likely make another start.

Draws Game 5 start Hutchinson will guard the crease for Sunday's Game 5 showdown against Dallas, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact With Colorado down 3-1 in the series, the team will make a switch in goal and give Hutchinson a chance. The 30-year-old stopped the only three shots he faced in relief during Game 4, and he also stopped 16 of 17 in his lone regular-season appearance with the Avalanche on March 2.
