This season, Jonathan Huberdeau has been absolutely killing it, regardless of who he’s been playing with. Whether it’s on the first line with Aleksander Barkov and Evgenii Dadonov or on the second with Vincent Trocheck and Noel Acciari, Huberdeau has made it work.
In 39 games, Huberdeau has put together a strong slash line of 16G, 37A, for 53 points, on pace for a 100-point year. Over his last five games, Huberdeau has recorded eight points (4 goals, 4 assists), as well as 22 points (6 goals, 16 assists) over the month of December, crowning him the NHL’s first star of the month.
