Avalanche's Nicolas Aube-Kubel: Spends time in sin bin

Aube-Kubel had one hit and four PIM over 6:08 of ice time in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.

Aube-Kubel took a couple of bad penalties -- one in the neutral zone and another in the offensive end -- and had his lowest ice time since Colorado claimed him off waivers in November, including just one shift in the third period. As rumors swirl about the Avalanche looking to add help for the stretch run, Aube-Kubel could be the roster casualty if the front office brings in Claude Giroux or Cal Clutterbuck, as speculated by Adrian Dater of Colorado Hockey Now.
