CALGARY — Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau will undergo season-ending hip surgery, the club announced Thursday.

The procedure is scheduled for March, following consultations with team doctors and outside specialists.

The Flames expect Huberdeau will make a full recovery in time for the start of the 2026-27 N-H-L season.

The 31-year-old has been dealing with hip-related symptoms throughout the season.

“After extensive evaluation, this was determined to be the best course of action for Jonathan’s long-term health and performance,” said Flames GM Craig Conroy in a statement. “While it is difficult to lose a player of his calibre, our priority is ensuring he is fully healthy moving forward.”

He was acquired by Calgary in the 2022 trade that sent Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers.
