The Calgary Flames have been making changes to their line combinations, particularly involving Jonathan Huberdeau and Andrew Mangiapane. Head coach Ryan Huska has been juggling the lines in an attempt to revitalize Huberdeau's performance, as he has been point-less in December. Despite the struggles, Huska remains optimistic, emphasizing the need for hard work. The team has been experimenting with different line combinations during practices, with Huberdeau being reunited with Elias Lindholm. Rasmus Andersson has been absent from practice due to illness. The situation has garnered attention and raised questions about Huberdeau's performance and the team's strategies.
