Aube-Kubel was claimed off of waivers from the Flyers and is set to make his debut in Vancouver. Aube-Kubel will skate on the third line with Alex Newhook and Tyson Jost and is expected to see time on PP1.
Aube-Kubel was a second-round pick of the Flyers in 2014 and was a regular member of their team in 2020-21. The 25-year-old had 12 points (3G / 9A) in 50 games last year but was buried on the depth this year. He now heads to Colorado, where he'll likely battle with Kiefer Sherwood for a spot in the bottom-6.
Aube-Kubel had 16 goals and 14 assists (30 points) in 54 AHL games and appeared in the first nine NHL games of his career with Philadelphia in 2019. The 23-year-old doesn’t have great size but can play a solid two-way game with some offensive flair for the bottom-6. He will likely start 2020 in the AHL but could be one of the Flyers first call-ups.
Aube-Kubel was recalled to provide a spark to the Flyers’ bottom-6 after they’ve lost three in a row. Aube-Kubel had seven points (3G / 4A) in eight games with Lehigh Valley (AHL) prior to his call-up and will make his NHL debut tonight.
