CALGARY — Jonathan Huberdeau did mental and physical work in the off-season in an effort to make his third season as a Calgary Flame his best one yet.
The 31-year-old got off to a strong start with two goals and two assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers in Calgary's home-opener.
Huberdeau says he hit the gym hard and sought guidance from psychologists to arrive at September's training camp confident and optimistic. There were signs of an upward trend in the second half of last season when his average points-per-game increased from .5 to .8. "It's one game. There's 80 more," Huberdeau said."It's a long season. Having these kinds of nights help build the confidence."
Wolf and Dan Vladar, who was in net for the OT in Vancouver, will vie for starts this season. Wolf's rebound control was airtight Saturday.
