As teams gear up for the 2023-24 NHL season with exciting preseason matchups, hockey fans have been treated to intense action, including fights and incredible goals. However, Flames fans received some concerning news when their star player, Jonathan Huberdeau, left the ice after a knee-on-knee collision.
The incident happened during a preseason game, and Huberdeau appeared to be in pain as he headed to the dressing room. Flames fans are worried about the impact of his injury on the team's performance.
The Flames' season is hanging in the balance because if they miss the playoffs again, they will lose their 2025 first-round draft pick. They missed the playoffs last year, so there's a clear need for improvement.
The Flames' success this season depends on Huberdeau's ability to return to his previous 115-point form after a 55-point season. If he can do that, the Flames have a good chance of making the playoffs and possibly winning the Pacific Division. Huberdeau's recovery is now critical to the team's hopes for the season.
