Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 NHL season to undergo hip surgery, according to @FriedgeHNIC. The news follows the Flames' 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers last night, which will stand as Huberdeau's final appearance of the campaign.
Per the report, Huberdeau required the surgical procedure but requested to play one final game for the Flames before being sidelined. He made a significant impact in his season finale, scoring the opening goal of the contest to help lead Calgary to a win over their rivals.
The decision to undergo the procedure comes after Huberdeau opted to delay the surgery for the specific purpose of contributing to the team's lineup one last time. Following his goal and the team's victory, he will now transition to the medical phase of his season. No further details regarding his recovery were included in the report.
