Moore split time between the Leafs and Marlies this season, registering two goals and six assists in 25 NHL games. He added 39 points in 46 AHL outings. The 24-year-old from Thousand Oak, Calif., also scored once while suiting up for all seven games of the Leafs' first-round playoff loss to the Boston Bruins.
Acquired from the Florida Panthers for depth in the crease in late December, Hutchinson was 2-3-0 with a .914 save percentage and a 2.64 goals-against average with the big club. The 29-year-old, who was recalled to serve as the Leafs' backup late in the season with Garret Sparks struggling, was 14-7-1 with a .910 save percentage and a 2.70 GAA for the Marlies.
Toronto swept the favoured Rochester Americans in a best-of-five series to open the AHL playoffs. Last season's Calder Cup champions, Toronto kicks off the second round at home against the Cleveland Monsters on Wednesday.
