He's on a 50 point pace for the season, which is who he likely is at this stage, as long as he's getting 18-20 minutes a night and premium PP time.
Of course, if that's what your top players are getting with that ice time, your team is in big trouble.
That was Stajan's problem. He was a 50 point player getting that kind of ice time. When he was moved down the chain, his points decreased of course. The same for Huberdeau will happen if he gets removed from the PP. It might be the best thing for the Flames if they end up with better players playing the PP, even if it makes Hubberdeau look even worse.

In an 82 games season, 20 games isn't really a small sample size. The real outlier sample size in this season was his wretched pointless December. January/February was fine. March has tailed off for him with 7 points. But then again, it has for almost all Flames. Kadri has 2 more points than Huberdeau in March, Coleman has 2 less. The only guy who's pushed through the post TDL stuff is Yegor, at PPG.
