The Florida Panthers will be holding their breath that an apparent ankle injury to Jonathan Huberdeau is not serious.
The Panthers forward took a skate to the back of his left ankle in a preseason contest against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. The injury took place during a first-period battle behind the Devils' net with Sergey Kalinin. Huberdeau did not return.
A long-term injury would devastating for the Panthers who earlier this week learned forward Nick Bjugstad will miss approximately four weeks with a broken hand.
