After taking a skate to his leg in the Florida Panthers' preseason finale on Saturday, star forward Jonathan Huberdeau will miss three-to-four months, the club confirmed.
It's a devastating blow to the Panthers, who took several positive steps in improving and building upon last season's Atlantic Division title over the offseason.
The 23-year-old winger is coming off a career-high 59-point season, and signed a six-year, $35.4-million extension with the club in September.
