As we all know, Jonathan Huberdeau was out with an Achilles tendon injury for about four months. In his absence, we have had to call upon guys such as Jonathan Marchessault to replace him on the starting line. Even though Marchessault did a fantastic job replacing Huberdeau in his absence, it just wasn’t the same without Huberdeau at our disposal.
Coming off last season with a career high of 59 points, this injury really struck Huberdeau at the wrong time. With lots of rehabilitation and rest, we have seen Huberdeau recover fairly well from an injury that could have been career costly.
