Hutson named Upper Deck/AHL Rookie of the Month

The American Hockey League announced today that Condors rookie RW Quinn Hutson has been named the Upper Deck/AHL Rookie of the Month for December.

Hutson, who turned 24 yesterday, leads the Condors and all AHL rookies in scoring with 32 points (19g-13a) in 26 games. He is tied for fourth in the AHL scoring race and is third overall in goals.

He played eight games with the Condors during December, collecting 13 points (9g-4a) and capped off by a two-goal performance in a Condors 7-3 win in Coachella Valley on New Year’s Eve. The month was also highlighted by a recall to the Edmonton Oilers in which he scored his first NHL goal against Boston in three games with the Oilers.

Undrafted, Hutson was signed as a free agent last spring out of Boston University.
