Forward to Represent Florida in Second Career All-Star Game
Thursday, Jan. 13, 2022
SUNRISE, Fla. – The National Hockey League announced today that Florida Panthers forward Jonathan Huberdeau has been named to the roster for the 2022 NHL All-Star Game held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., on Saturday, Feb. 5. He will also participate in the NHL All-Star Skills Competition on Friday, Feb. 4.
“One of the premier playmakers in the National Hockey League, Jonathan’s production is matched only by his consummate professionalism,” said Panthers General Manager Bill Zito. “He is an all-star leader and teammate, making those around him better in every way. We are proud that he has earned this tremendous opportunity and are looking forward to him bringing the growing excitement surrounding the Florida Panthers to Las Vegas.”
Huberdeau’s invitation will mark his second appearance at the NHL All-Star Game and the All-Star Skills Competition, following his nomination in 2019-20.
Huberdeau, 28, has appeared in all 36 of Florida’s games this season, leading the club in assists (34), points (47), even-strength points (31), and power-play points (14). He ranks tied for second among NHL skaters in assists and sits fifth in points, pacing all NHL skaters with 14 points (3-11-14) since Dec. 29. He also leads all skaters in assists (26) and points (32) on home ice in 2021-22.
The 6-foot-1, 202-pound native of Saint-Jerome, Quebec, has been named an NHL ‘Star of the Week’ twice in the past six weeks. He was named First Star for the week ending Dec. 5 after posting nine points (1-8-9) over three games, and Third Star for the week ending Jan. 2 after recording eight points (1-7-8) over three contests. Huberdeau has produced eight points over a two-game span twice this season, the only Panther in club history to accomplish the feat.
Originally selected by Florida in the first round (third overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft, Huberdeau is currently the Panthers longest-tenured player and stands as the franchise leader in assists (364) and points (545), ranking second in games played (627) and third in goals (181).
The 2022 NHL All-Star Game will be live Saturday, February 5, on ABC and simulcast on ESPN+ at 3 P.M. (ET), with the Skills Competition taking place the day before on Friday, February 4, at 7:30 P.M. (ET) on ESPN from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
