Carter Hutton to 'carry the ball' for Sabres with Linus Ullmark out 3 to 4 weeks
I will express my opinion in memes.
Hutton Quote:
"I’ve been in this situation before I feel bad for him because he was playing great. He’s obviously been rock solid all year, and he’s having a career year for sure. It’s a tough injury. The way we play, it’s tough, whatever happened. He’ll come back. Right now I have to go in there and just play hockey, and it will be fun."
"I don’t think anyone inside this room anyone has ever doubted me or anything like that. Sometimes the picture can get painted outside, you know what I mean, but not everybody has the information, what’s going on. For me, I played a lot of games. It’s not like I just fell off a cliff here. It’s been a rough go, but it’s just hockey. I feel like for a long time I’ve felt good here, and it’s just a matter of getting in.
At the same time, I haven’t played because Linus has played so well. It wasn’t a lack of what I was doing in practice or anything like that. Linus has been – everyone’s been watching, right? – he’s been the backbone so far. Now I have to get in there and just play my game."

"We know that Carter can step up here. He had an excellent start of the season, some struggles of late. But it was more also the team performing differently in those games. There was some overtimes in there that didn’t tip his way, so we’re cheering for him as loud as anybody to get back on track result-wise. But he’s always worked hard and has had some good weeks now with (goaltending coach) Mike Bales. They’ve done a lot of extra work, and we feel Carter is ready to be the guy to step in here and carry the ball."
