Overview

  • Washington activated Dubois off injured reserve for Thursday’s game, with coach Spencer Carbery placing him alongside Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson.
  • Dubois last played on Oct. 31 against the Islanders before undergoing abdominal surgery and was cleared for contact on Jan. 26.
  • Bogdan Trineyev was reassigned to AHL Hershey to open a roster spot for Dubois’ activation.
  • Sonny Milano is out for personal reasons and listed day-to-day, creating the likely lineup opening Dubois will fill.
  • Dubois has no points in six games this season after posting 66 points last year, and the Capitals enter their final game before the Olympic break six points back of the East’s last wild card with their next game on Feb. 25.
