The Washington Capitals forward is facing discipline for an illegal check to the head against Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Cal Foote on Friday.
The incident occurred at the Capitals blue line at 1:56 of the second period of their 5-1 win at Capital One Arena in Washington. Aube-Kubel received a five-minute major and a match penalty on the play. Foote left the game and did not return.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: illegal check to the head. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.
