The operation will be conducted in March, following consultations with the Calgary Flames’ medical team and other specialists.

Huberdeau is expected to make a full recovery by the start of the 2026-27 season.

Flames’ general manager Craig Conroy said this is the “best course of action” for Huberdeau.

“While it is difficult to lose a player of his calibre, our priority is ensuring he is fully healthy moving forward,” he said.

“Huberdeau has been managing hip-related symptoms throughout the season. The decision to proceed with surgery was made in collaboration with Jonathan, his representative, our medical staff, and specialists to support his long-term well being.”

Huberdeau, who had a goal in Wednesday night’s game against the Edmonton Oilers, currents has 25 points this season, including 10 goals and 15 assists.

He played 50 games for the Flames this season.
