Panthers’ Huberdeau leaves game after hit from Jets’ Trouba

The injury-riddled Florida Panthers might have another forward sidelined as Jonathan Huberdeau left Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets with an upper-body injury.

Huberdeau was hurt after falling awkwardly into the boards following a hit from defenseman Jacob Trouba. The 22-year-old leads the team with 29 assists this season.

Usual linemate Aleksander Barkov is missing his sixth consecutive game Saturday with an upper-body injury of his own, but hopes to be back in the lineup for the Panthers' next game Thursday against the Arizona Coyotes.
