Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Ken Sutton played one season for the Saskatoon Blades in 1988–89 helping the team to the Memorial Cup final.
He began his career with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League (AHL) where he would play for two seasons before being called up to the Buffalo Sabres in 1991. He stayed with Buffalo until he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers for Scott Pearson on April 7, 1995.
Sutton played parts of two seasons for Edmonton in between stints with the Worcester IceCats. He was traded to the St. Louis Blues along with Igor Kravchuk for Jeff Norton and Donald Dufresne on January 4, 1996. He only played a total of seven games for the Blues spending the rest of the season with the IceCats.
Sutton was traded to the New Jersey Devils with St. Louis' second-round choice (Brett Clouthier) in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft for Mike Peluso and Ricard Persson on November 26, 1996. Sutton would spend the entire 1997 in the minors between the Manitoba Moose of the International Hockey League (IHL) and the AHL's Albany River Rats.
