Wild's Nicolas Aube-Kubel: Recalled by Minnesota

Aube-Kubel was recalled from AHL Iowa on Thursday.

Aube-Kubel was sent to the minors in late November, but he'll rejoin Minnesota after Mats Zuccarello (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday. Aube-Kubel hasn't yet appeared in any NHL games this year, but he's recorded five goals, eight assists, 28 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 23 AHL appearances to begin the season.
