Huberdeau led the NHL with 4-5-9 and a +6 rating in four games to power the Panthers (30-27-12, 72 points) to a 2-1-1 week and within seven points of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. After being held off the scoresheet in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins March 5, Huberdeau (2-1-3) factored on all three Florida goals in a 4-3 defeat versus the Boston Bruins March 7. He then posted 1-3-4, his fourth career four-point performance and second of the season (also Feb. 28 at VGK: 1-3-4), as well as a career-best +5 rating in 6-2 victory against the Minnesota Wild March 8. Huberdeau added 1-1-2 in a 6-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings March 10. The 25-year-old Saint-Jerome, Que., native and 2012-13 Calder Memorial Trophy winner ranks second on the Panthers with 22-52-74 through 69 outings this season, already establishing personal highs for assists and points.
