Ben Hutton will play his first game for the New York Islanders when they host the New Jersey Devils at UBS Arena on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. The Islanders said Hutton will replace Scott Mayfield in the lineup after practising alongside Matthew Kessel on Friday.

Hutton signed a one-year contract Thursday after joining the Islanders on a professional tryout Monday.

Hutton spent the past five seasons with the Vegas Golden Knights. He scored a career-high six goals and added nine assists in 55 regular-season games last season.
