Newly acquired Washington Capitals forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel is doing what he can to become a fan favorite with his new team.
The Caps matched up with the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, and Aube-Kubel decided to bring a physical presence to the game. Evander Kane had the puck in open ice, and Aube-Kubel absolutely decks him.
The video of the incident can be seen below.
