Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Needs surgery
Pierre-Luc Dubois is having surgery on his abdominal and adductor muscles and will miss the next 3-4 months, the Washington Capitals announced Sunday.As reported, it's not a season-ending injury for Dubois, but it is still one that carries a significant recovery time of 3-4 months. The 27-year-old struggled in his six games so far this season, registering no points while averaging 15:32 of ice time per night, but the loss will still certainly be felt given his top-six status. Connor McMichael could center the second line for the foreseeable future.

Without Dubois in the lineup, it looks like Connor McMichael will get the first shot at filling a top-six role, though Hendrix Lapierre could be an option as well.
