After accruing 115 points with the Florida Panthers during 2021-22, Huberdeau chipped in 107 points for Calgary over the past two seasons. His 12 goals in 2023-24 were the third-fewest he had scored in a dozen years in the league. Edmonton stumbled out of the gate – again – and was pretty much hapless in three home losses during which it was outscored 15-3.
