Roman Cervenka will likely replace Hudler in the Flames lineup.
Hudler had left the Flames training camp because of the death of his father. He has returned to practice yesterday and is expected to play for the Flames on Saturday.
Hudler returned home because of the death of his father. Hudler could be available in some leagues, and could be worth an add for forward depth, as the Czech can still put the puck in the net. Monitor his return to the Flames and act accordingly.
A close call to Hudler but the skate managed to miss causing any serious injury.
Tough to see Hudler finding more opportunity to score in Calgary than in Detroit.
Hudler has played very well with Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula. After a down year last season, he looks to be back at full speed.
Sounds like Hudler was the banged up forward but Mike Babcock expects him to play tonight. He has six goals and 18 points through 28 games.
Contrary to earlier reports, Jiri Hudler will play tonight. He scored two goals and four points over his first 11 games this season.
Make sure to keep either player out of your lineup tomorrow. Hudler has two goals and four points playing on scoring lines and the point on the power play.
For the second consecutive season, Hudler has found himself a disposable member of the Wings offense. Through nine games, the Czech winger scored two goals and four points.
Hudler scored 10 goals and 37 points last season following a breakout, 57-point campaign in his last NHL season. To say the least he disappointed but showed signs of improving. He likely splits the difference and tops 40 points this season but won't have the ice time to hit the 60-point range.
