As Strange Brew outlined at the time, Huberdeau's 2024-25 - particularly goal-scoring - was almost certainly unsustainable. Now this season he's right back to his career average.

Still would only take a good game or two to improve his current points pace.

Doesn’t seem likely. He is on pace for about 31 assists, which is significantly lower than his previous bad seasons. But he has shown an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time on the offensive end and is sporting a ridiculously high shooting percentage of 20%.
I’ll enjoy this while it’s happening but not really counting on it repeating.
