The Calgary Flames are potentially set to receive a significant boost in their lineup. Forward Jonathan Huberdeau has returned to skating after battling an injury and may accompany the team on their upcoming road trip.
Jonathan Huberdeau’s Injury and Recovery
Huberdeau, 32, sustained his injury in a pre-season matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. The incident occurred when he collided with goaltender Kevin Lankinen. Due to the severity of his injury, he was placed on injured reserve at the beginning of the season.
Performance History
Last season, Huberdeau had an impressive showing with the Flames. He recorded 28 goals and a total of 62 points across 81 games during the 2024-25 season. His performance was pivotal for the team’s offensive strategy and overall success.
Team Updates
Calgary’s head coach, Ryan Huska, shared the news of Huberdeau’s recovery with reporters earlier this week. Along with Huberdeau, Martin Pospisil also began the season on injured reserve but is yet to return to skating.
Martin Pospisil’s Status
Pospisil missed the final pre-season game due to an undisclosed injury. Last season, he experienced a breakthrough year, contributing 25 points with four goals and 21 assists. His solid performance earned him a three-year contract extension with the Flames.
- Jonathan Huberdeau: Injured, may return to play soon.
- Previous Season Stats: 28 goals, 62 points in 81 games.
- Martin Pospisil: Still on injured reserve, missed final pre-season game.
