Overview
- Capitals PR announced Dubois sustained a lower-body injury and would not return to Friday’s game.
- The injury occurred late in the first period on a faceoff with Jean-Gabriel Pageau, after contact that left Dubois needing help to the bench.
- Dubois could not put weight on his right leg and logged 6:04 of ice time before exiting.
- He had returned less than a week earlier after missing five games with a lower-body issue, with no clarity yet on whether the injuries are related.
- Head coach Spencer Carbery said Dubois will be re-evaluated Saturday, and a call-up from AHL Hershey is possible as Dylan Strome and Ethen Frank remain out.
