Can the red-hot Nazem Kadri get Jonathan Huberdeau going?
So far this season, Darryl Sutter has elected to playalongside Huberdeau and Lindholm on the top unit. This came as little surprise, as most expected to see Huberdeau get a chance with Lindholm and most envisioned the two being quite successful together. While it's still early, the pair has struggled to put points on the board so far — especially at even strength.
Through his new squad's first seven games, Huberdeau has just one goal and five points. Though not terrible numbers at first glance, what sticks out most about those point totals is that just one of them has come at even strength, while the other four have been on the man advantage. Lindholm, meanwhile, has fought it even more, registering just two goals and three points on the season, all of which have come on the power play.
In one sense, this doesn’t seem very surprising as many expected it would take Huberdeau some time to mesh with his new team. That said, Kadri has fit in like a glove right from the get go, as he is already up to nine points on the year and looks dominate every time he hits the ice. That hasn’t been the case for Huberdeau nor his linemates who are not only struggling to put up points, but scoring chances in general.
