ON TOP OF HIS GAMES

No one has played more games for the Panthers than Jonathan Huberdeau. He took the ice for his 655th career contest on March 26, 2022, passing Stephen Weiss to become the franchise leader for all-time games played. If that wasn’t enough, Huby assisted on the game-tying goal before the Cats won in a 4-3 shootout over the Ottawa Senators. “He has lived the ups-and-downs of this franchise and is one of the staples since he has been here,” said interim coach Andrew Brunette. “He’s a little of the identity of our team, being such a fantastic player.”
