Nicolas Aube-Kubel Carries Washington's Offense On Sunday
11 months agoWashington Capitals right wing Nicolas Aube-Kubel was an unlikely hero in Sunday's clash with the Kings, logging three points in a 4-3 victory. The fourth-liner had one goal and two assists in the contest. His fourth goal of the season tied the game at three at the 8:36 mark in the third period, and Aube-Kubel completed his career night with his second assist when John Carlson scored a last-minute winner. The 27-year-old is now sitting on 11 points for the year. He hasn't had a massive impact, but Aube-Kubel has done well in a limited role, as he also carries a team-best plus-nine rating through 26 appearances while having recorded 43 hits.
