Hutchinson posted 22-4-2 record with the Reign, in earning a promotion to AHL affiliate, the St. John's IceCaps. With the IceCaps starting goaltender Edward Pasquale suffering season-ending injury, Hutchinson posted a 15-5 record, before earning a recall to the Winnipeg Jets on March 15, 2014.
Hutchinson made his NHL debut, in a 1-0 loss against the Minnesota Wild on April 7, 2014. He played the final two games of the season with the Jets, claiming his first career NHL win with the Winnipeg Jets in a 2-1 shootout win over the Boston Bruins on April 10, 2014. He was returned to the IceCaps for the 2014 AHL playoffs, and was instrumental in helping St. John's reach the Calder Cup finals for the first time in franchise history. On July 2, 2014, the Jets signed Hutchinson to a two-year contract. Hutchinson played in the 2014–15 NHL season as the backup to Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec.
