A native of Mississauga, Ont., Goloubef was selected in the second round (37th overall) of the 2008 NHL Draft by the Columbus Blue Jackets. In 134 career NHL games with the Blue Jackets, the Colorado Avalanche and the Senators, he has recorded 23 points (two goals, 21 assists) and 68 penalty minutes. He has also registered 122 points (34 goals, 88 assists) and 397 penalty minutes over 311 career AHL contests with the Springfield Falcons, Cleveland Monsters, San Antonio Rampage, Stockton Heat, Providence and Belleville.
