Panthers' Huberdeau to return for start of 3-game homestand

The Florida Panthers' first line was reunited at their morning skate as Aleksander Barkov and Jaromir Jagr skated with Jonathan Huberdeau - who's set to return from injury Monday against the Boston Bruins - for the first time in a month.

Huberdeau missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, and was hurt one day before Barkov's return from a six-game absence with an upper-body injury of his own. The Panthers' top line last played together Feb. 8.

With 11 goals and 29 assists in 59 games, Huberdeau will need 14 more points in his team's final 17 contests to match his career high set last year.

Trailing the Tampa Bay Lightning by two points, the Panthers begin an important three-game homestand Monday. After hosting the Bruins, they'll be visited by a pair of teams vying for playoff spots in the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers.
