Per Heather Engel of NHL.com, Aube-Kubel (lower body) is expected to be available for Saturday's game versus Detroit, head coach Lindy Ruff said Friday.
Aube-Kubel has had only one practice, which may cause him to sit out Saturday's matchup. He also still needs to be activated from injured reserve. Aube-Kubel suffered the injury against New Jersey on Opening Night in Prague on Oct. 4, resulting in him missing the last seven games. If Aube-Kubel sits out Saturday, he is expected to rejoin the lineup Monday versus Florida.
