This is the first time I've really and fully been concerned about him - that game was an absolute dumpster fire from the Flames top forward. Not sure if the fancy stats paint a better picture or not, but watching the game last night and how badly Huberdeau struggled definitely sets off some serious alarm bells.
Huberdeau: -2, 1SH, 1Hit, 4GVA, 4:31PP TOI
Points and goals aside, your elite forward cannot be that out of sorts at this point of the season. I'm not sure where you go from here because you've already tried other line combos, that haven't really worked either. Chalk it up as a brutal game and move on, but I'm not seeing a lot of signs that he's going to flip the switch suddenly in the next 10 games and start dominating. If he doesn't bounce back with a big effort next game it will say a lot.
