In the 2019-20 season, Nic Aube-Kubel took the Flyers by storm and has since become a bottom-six staple. Unfortunately, his 2020 season was a forgettable one, but his road to redemption may run through the special teams units.
After earning a consistent spot on the team in 2019, NAK put up 15 points in 36 games before enjoying a very solid bubble performance.
