Jonathan Huberdeau underwent a procedure on his hip Tuesday.
Renaud Lavoie of RDS reported Huberdeau played with the injury his entire rookie season, which makes his inaugural NHL season a bit more impressive. The Calder Trophy finalists finished with 14 goals and 31 points in 48 games for a Panthers team that was basically an AHL club by the middle of March due to injuries. Huberdeau is expected to be 100 percent in time for training camp.

Jonathan Huberdeau has been named a finalist for the Calder Trophy.
Huberdeau will be up against the Canadiens Brendan Gallagher and Chicago's Brandon Saad and is likely the slight favorite at this time. Huberdeau had 14 goals and 31 points in 48 games for the lowly Panthers while Gallagher had 15 goals and 28 points with Saad tallying 10 goals and 27 points. The trophy will be awarded in late June at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas.

Jonathan Huberdeau learned he has to play with more consistency and that he has to get bigger after playing in his first professional season.
The Panthers conducted interviews with their rookie contingent at the end of the regular season and Huberdeau seems to understand where he has to be better. The outstanding rookie finished tied with Edmonton's Nail Yakupov for the scoring lead among first-year players with 31 in 41 contests.

Jonathan Huberdeau recorded three assists in Florida's season finale.
Huberdeau is in a tie with Nail Yakupov for first place in the rookie scoring race. Both players had 31 points in 48 games, although Yakupov ended up with three more goals. Yakupov also had a far more tolerable minus-four rating, compared to Huberdeau's minus-15. Ottawa's Cory Conacher is three points behind them with one game left to play.

Jonathan Huberdeau is still considered to be a frontrunner for the Calder Trophy even though he is tied with Ottawa's Cory Conacher for the rookie point lead.
Huberdeau leads all first-year players with 14 goals in 46 games, but he isn't going to let the award distract him from performing in the team's final two contests of the regular season. "If I put pressure on myself like I want to win it won't happen," Huberdeau said. "I just try not to think about it. I need to finish strong."

Huberdeau now has a goal and six points in his last six games. He leads all rookies with 13 goals and 27 points in 39 games this season. However, there's plenty of competition for the Calder Trophy, including Ottawa's Cory Conacher, Chicago's Brandon Saad, and Edmonton's Nail Yakupov and Justin Schultz. Huberdeau will need to have a strong finish to the season to maintain his hold on the rookie scoring lead.

Jonathan Huberdeau didn't register a point Tuesday, but he has five in the last four games.
The Florida rookie now leads all first-year players in scoring with 25 points in 37 matches. He also tops the Panthers in points which is impressive despite the team's injury woes to several key forwards.

Jonathan Huberdeau hasn't scored a goal in nine straight games, but he isn't letting his slump get the better of him.
"You've just got to have a good attitude. In the NHL, you play so many games, so you can't play a bad game and be negative about it," he said. Despite his drought, he still leads all rookies with 12 goals in 34 games and sits second in points with 21.

Jonathan Huberdeau scored a goal in a 3-2 overtime loss Friday night.

Jonathan Huberdeau has been named the NHL's Rookie of the Month.

He had to leave the ice and his status for Thursday night's match against Philadelphia was not immediately known. We should know more after Florida's morning skate though.

Jonathan Huberdeau tallied a pair of goals Tuesday in Florida's 6-5 overtime loss to Washington.
Peter Mueller assisted on both of Huberdeau's goals. The third member of their line, Drew Shore, notched his first career goal and added an assist in the match. The new-look line seemed to click and with the top unit still struggling they should remain together and get their opportunities.

Jonathan Huberdeau scored in his first NHL shootout.
The rookie was 10 for 12 in the shootout over the past three years in junior, but he still had some jitters in his first NHL opportunity. "I was really nervous," Huberdeau said. "When I got up there, I was shaking a little bit. But I wasn't nervous once I took the puck." Huberdeau has six points on the season, and while he may be a little risky now, he's a great player to own in keeper leagues.

Jonathan Huberdeau scored his third goal of the season in Tuesday's overtime loss to Winnipeg.
The marker was his second in his last three games and it extended a modest three-game point streak for the Panthers' talented rookie. Huberdeau opened the season with a bang when he notched a goal and two assists, but after that he went pointless in five consecutive contests. He'll likely continue to go through peaks and valleys in his production for the entire year, but he has plenty of value in keeper leagues.

Jonathan Huberdeau scored his first goal Thursday since a three-point night in the season opener.
The Panthers decided to keep Huberdeau in the NHL this season rather than return him to juniors. He's been playing around 16 minutes a night, but has been pretty quiet overall. While worth stashing in keeper leagues, it's probably best to wait another game to see if he's comfortable enough where his production begins to match his talent.

Jonathan Huberdeau has reportedly been told by the Panthers that he will remain with the team for the balance of the 2013 season.
Huberdeau opened his professional career with a bang by scoring one goal and two assists in his first game, but he has been quiet offensively since then with no points in his past four contests. He has 13 shots so he's getting his chances though and he should continue to get top-six minutes.

19-year-old Jonathan Huberdeau had a great opening game on a line with 39-year-old Alexei Kovalev.
Huberdeau and Kovalev combined for six points on Saturday. "I liked the speed factor and the mix of veteran presence and youthfulness," Dineen said. The two should play together again on Monday. Huberdeau should be one of the more productive rookies this season.

Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and two assists in Florida's 5-1 victory Saturday night.
Huberdeau is projected to be one of this season's top rookies and he certainly looked like it in his NHL debut. Alex Kovalev also had a goal and two assists for Florida. Brian Campbell scored twice with the man advantage. Scottie Upshall accounted for the Panthers' other goal.

Jonathan Huberdeau skated alongside veteran Alex Kovalev and converted center Peter Mueller on Tuesday.
Huberdeau and Kovalev form an interesting pair on the ice, since the Panthers' top prospect wasn't even born yet when Kovalev was 19 and playing in his first NHL game in 1992. "He's unbelievable on the ice, unbelievable hands, so it's great to see him out there," said Huberdeau. "I watched him play in Montreal [from 2003-09], and it was exciting every game he was there. To be on the ice with him is kind of a dream, to talk strategy off the ice, too, so we can get to know each other." This could be an intriguing line to watch if it stays together when Florida opens their season Saturday night against Carolina. The team is in desperate need of secondary scoring and a combination of Huberdeau, Kovalev and Mueller could help.

Jonathan Huberdeau is expected to make his on-ice debut at Florida's training camp on Tuesday.
He sat out Sunday and Monday morning's skate to help heal up some aches following his return from the World Junior Championship in Russia.

Jonathan Huberdeau is expected to open camp at left wing when the Panthers begin practices on Monday.
"I will put him in situations where he has opportunity to use his skills and have success in whatever that role may be," coach Kevin Dineen said. "We're enthused to have him come in here. He has some games to really make a statement with his game. We're going to get a good little look at him against NHL talent. We'll go from there." Huberdeau is determined to stick with the Panthers and the team could use any secondary offense he can provide.

Jonathan Huberdeau has been called up from his junior team, the Saint John Sea Dogs, to join the Florida Panthers at training camp.
Huberdeau was expected to start the season with the Panthers, but the lockout tossed a wrench into those plans. Now that a new CBA is in place, he'll get a look at Florida's abbreviated camp and could end up as a top-six forward when the season begins. Huberdeau has generated 16 goals and 45 points in 30 QMJHL contests this year.

Jonathan Huberdeau thinks Canada's slow start as the reason they ultimately lost to Team USA in the semifinals of the 2013 World Junior Championships.
Canada found themselves down 2-0 after 20 minutes en route to a 5-1 loss. "We didn't have the start we talked about. That was the key," said Huberdeau. "We knew it was going to be hard but they scored some early goals and when we tried to come back, (goaltender John Gibson) was outstanding." Canada entered this tournament with high expectations, given that guys like Huberdeau might have been unavailable if not for the lockout. They will compete for the bronze medal on Saturday.

Jonathan Huberdeau and his Team Canada teammates are determined to get a better start in this semifinal round versus the United States after playing catch-up at last year's World Junior Championship against the Russians.
Canada entered the third period down 6-1 to Russia at that tournament before rallying to make the end score 6-5. "It's important to have a great start because last year we didn't and we know what can happen," said Huberdeau. "It's been a year but it feels like it was yesterday that it happened. For sure we think about that. We had two days off, which was the same scenario. It's a different team, a different tournament, and we want to have a great start this time. It's really important." The Florida Panthers prospect has accounted for two goals and five assists in four games for Canada so far.
