Aube-Kubel has no points and a minus-1 rating with four penalty minutes in six games this season. He’s averaged just 9:05 of ice time this season — last amongst players to suit up for at least four games.
He has been a scratch in five of the past six games.
The Maple Leafs signed Aube-Kubel to a one-year, $1 million contract in July after he hoisted the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in June.
Before joining the Maple Leafs, the 26-year-old right-shot winger has played four seasons for the Flyers and Avalanche, amassing 21 goals, 29 assists and a plus-minus of +10 in 169 games.
