Less than 48 hours after his best performance of the season, Michael Hutchinson suffered through perhaps his lowest moment of 2016-17.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Michael Hutchinson gives up a rebound that Buffalo Sabres forward Brian Gionta put in the back of the net Sunday afternoon to give the Sabres a 2-0 lead at the MTS Centre.
