He recorded two goals and an assist in an 8-7 overtime win at Tucson on Dec. 13 - his fifth three-point game of the season already - and earned a recall to Edmonton, where he played three games and scored a goal on Dec. 18 at Boston. Hutson notched a goal and an assist in his return to the Condors on Dec. 27 vs. San Diego, and scored twice in a 7-3 win at Coachella Valley on New Year's Eve.

The native of North Barrington, Ill., leads all AHL rookies with 19 goals and 32 points in 26 games for Bakersfield, good for a tie for fourth overall in league scoring.
