Hudler missed Saturday's morning skate due to an illness and is considered "very doubtful" to play against the Blues, Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun reports. The Flames possess perhaps the weakest collection of forward talent in the league, and their lack of depth could be further exposed Saturday with Hudler out of the lineup. The winger looks like the latest victim of the flu bug that has worked its way around the Calgary locker room, so he'll likely stay away from the team for the night so as not to worsen the epidemic. Hudler, who registered two goals and an assist over the team's first two contests, will be replaced in the lineup by Devin Setoguchi.
