During the mid-2010s, the Winnipeg Jets did not have Connor Hellebuyck yet and had a rotation of goaltenders. The one stable player on their backend was Michael Hutchinson who consistently got into 30-40 games as a 1B goaltender.

Throughout five years with the Jets, Hutchinson played in 102 total games with the Jets with the majority coming from 2014-2017.
