Flames' Huberdeau out vs. Coyotes with illness, replaced by Duehr

January 16, 2024 - 8:52pm

Calgary Flames head coach Ryan Huska provides an update on Jacob Markstrom’s injury he picked up in practice confirming there is no timetable for his return with D-man Noah Hanifin urging the team to use it as an opportunity to step up their game.

Calgary Flames forward Jonathan Huberdeau will be out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes with an illness, the team announced.

Coming into the lineup in his place will be 26-year-old forward Walker Duehr.

Huberdeau had a slow start to the season but has picked up the pace as of late. The 30-year-old forward has six points over his last five games and has helped the team win six of its past eight games.

Riding a three-game win streak, the Flames will now be without both Huberdeau and starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom against the Coyotes. The Flames ruled Markstrom out day to day with a lower-body injury earlier in the day.

You can watch the Flames take on the Coyotes live on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ at 9 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. MT.
