Florida Panthers forward Jonathan Huberdeau will miss up to four months with a lower body injury. The team announced the extent of Huberdeau's injury on Sunday, a day after he got hurt in Florida's pre-season finale at West Point, New York. Huberdeau was expected to be a part of Florida's top line, alongside Jaromir Jagr and Aleksander Barkov. The Panthers also announced Sunday that Derek MacKenzie will serve as the team's captain, assisted by Jussi Jokinen and Aaron Ekblad. MacKenzie is the ninth captain in Florida history, replacing Willie Mitchell.
