Jonathan Huberdeau Sends a Message to Habs Fans as Things Continue to Fall Apart in Calgary

From an elite forward who finished second in the NHL scoring race, Huberdeau has become unrecognizable. After signing a massive contract earning him $10.5 million annually for the next eight years, the 30-year-old Quebec native is not meeting expectations.

He finished last season with 55 points in 79 games and has only seven points in 14 games this year. For a player of his caliber, now one of the highest-paid in the NHL, this performance is unacceptable.

As the Flames visit the Canadiens tomorrow night at the Bell Centre, this might be the spark Huberdeau has been waiting for. He believes playing in front of his family and friends could help rekindle something in his game.

"It's always fun to come back home. To see my people. As I said, I feel like I'm about to break through. I'm convinced it's not much. A bit of luck, a spark, anything could help. And as we arrive in Ottawa and Montreal, the timing couldn't be better. We've been playing better lately as a team. By continuing to give a sustained effort in my line (with Lindholm and Mangiapane), I hope to contribute more to the team's success.» - Jonathan Huberdeau"

While a CH victory is certainly desired, it would be pleasing to see the Flames' number 10 make a significant impact on this game.
