The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Nicolas Aube-Kubel in free agency this offseason, fresh off of winning the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche.

The Capitals were hosting the Edmonton Oilers last night in what turned into an offensive battle, Capitals coming up with the 5-4 win. Aube-Kubel took no time getting himself a favourite to Washington Capitals fans as in one of his first shifts, Evander Kane had the puck inside his own zone and Aube-Kubel lays into him with a hit hit, sending him to the ice:
