The forward missed the first five games of the season because of an undisclosed injury sustained during a preseason game Oct. 1. “It’s been a long few weeks watching the guys but I’m ready to go, excited,” Huberdeau said after practice Friday. “Hopefully I can make a difference out there.” The Flames sent forward Matvei Gridin<\/a> to Calgary of the American Hockey League to open a roster spot.<\/p>\n Dallas Stars<\/p>\n Thomas Harley<\/a> did not practice Friday because of illness but the defenseman is expected to play against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNMW, Victory+). … Defenseman Nils Lundkvist<\/a> missed practice and is being evaluated for a lower-body injury.
