Normally, not registering a point in nine games played would be a pretty big cause for concern for any player, but this isn’t the case for Philadelphia Flyers rookie forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel for a variety of reasons.
The 22 year-old forward is doing all he can despite the low ice-time he’s receiving. Aube-Kubel is currently averaging 5:35 minutes of time-on-ice, with the highest amount coming in his second career game against the Los Angeles Kings where he played for 8:01.
These minutes are extremely low, even for a fourth-line rookie.
