Jonathan Huberdeau underwent a procedure on his hip Tuesday.

Renaud Lavoie of RDS reported Huberdeau played with the injury his entire rookie season, which makes his inaugural NHL season a bit more impressive. The Calder Trophy finalists finished with 14 goals and 31 points in 48 games for a Panthers team that was basically an AHL club by the middle of March due to injuries. Huberdeau is expected to be 100 percent in time for training camp.

Jonathan Huberdeau learned he has to play with more consistency and that he has to get bigger after playing in his first professional season.

The Panthers conducted interviews with their rookie contingent at the end of the regular season and Huberdeau seems to understand where he has to be better. The outstanding rookie finished tied with Edmonton's Nail Yakupov for the scoring lead among first-year players with 31 in 41 contests.

Jonathan Huberdeau is still considered to be a frontrunner for the Calder Trophy even though he is tied with Ottawa's Cory Conacher for the rookie point lead.

Huberdeau leads all first-year players with 14 goals in 46 games, but he isn't going to let the award distract him from performing in the team's final two contests of the regular season. "If I put pressure on myself like I want to win it won't happen," Huberdeau said. "I just try not to think about it. I need to finish strong."
