He collected goals in each of Springfield's victories over Syracuse on Feb. 1 and Connecticut on Feb. 2 and has 10 points (4g-6a) in 21 games with a +9 rating with the Falcons in 2012-2013. Goloubef, a native of Oakville, Ontario, has accumulated 39 points (10g-29a) in 119 AHL contests and has a goal in six NHL games during his career.
