Nazem Kadri and Jonathan Huberdeau’s off-ice relationship is translating to on-ice success, and the chemistry between the veteran forwards could finally give the Calgary Flames a legitimate top line.
in Columbus on Dec. 3, the two have combined for 12 points and consistently driven play. Head coach Ryan Huska said last week that the team hasn’t had a true No. 1 trio in a couple of seasons, but the Kadri-Huberdeau-Pospisil line could change that if their strong play continues.
Kadri and Huberdeau played about half the season together in 2022-23 to mixed results. They were on the ice for 27 goals for and 25 goals against and 57 per cent of scoring chances at five-on-five, hardly ideal numbers for a duo that started more than 60 per cent of its shifts in the offensive zone and was expected to be the Flames’ top line.
Huberdeau and Kadri hit the fairways this summer when Huberdeau was in Toronto, and they have also competed on Calgary courses. “I mean, I think I’ve tried with everybody,” said Huberdeau. “So, I had to go back to the first one. I did the full cycle.”
