Jonathan Huberdeau: Out Saturday
Huberdeau (upper body) could return Monday for a home game against the Bruins, per Panthers coach Gerard Gallant, George Richards of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis:
Huberdeau, a Calder Trophy winner from 2012-13, won't play Saturday based on how Gallant is already looking at the star winger's status for next week. As good as the Panthers are, the team struggles on the man advantage -- their power-play unit is ranked 27th in the league -- and Huberdeau's absence doesn't help matters as 25 percent of his 40 points this season have been of the power-play variety.
