Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Snags assist in win
Pierre-Luc Dubois notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Stars.Dubois has two helpers, three shots on net, three hits and four blocked shots over three appearances to begin his Washington Capitals career. Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Dubois is being utilized as shutdown center -- he frequently matched up against the Stars' top line in Thursday's contest, and it was a battle he won. The 26-year-old center is better known for his offense, but he needs to show well-rounded skills to maintain a top-six role with the Capitals. If Dubois can balance defense and offense throughout the campaign, he could be a solid depth forward for fantasy managers.

Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Moving to Washington
Pierre-Luc Dubois was acquired by the Washington Capitals from the Kings on Wednesday in exchange for Darcy Kuemper.The Kings made a big bet on Dubois in the summer of 2023, trading Alex Iafallo, Gabriel Vilardi, Rasmus Kupari and a 2024 second-round pick to get him from the Jets. The move also involved signing Dubois to an eight-year, $68 million contract. The idea was that the center, who provides a strong blend of grit and skill, would make the Kings deep up the middle in the short term and perhaps even be the eventual successor to Anze Kopitar. However, Dubois went from recording at least 60 points in each of his previous two campaigns to finishing with 16 goals and 40 points across 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Averaging 15:42 of ice time this season, down from 18:27 in 2022-23, probably didn't help his offensive production, so perhaps the move to Washington will do him some good. Nicklas Backstrom (hip) isn't expected to play at all next season, which leaves the door open for Dubois to possibly serve as the Capitals' top-line center.

Kings' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Nets goal in Game 1 loss
Pierre-Luc Dubois scored a goal on three shots, added four PIM and dished out five hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.Dubois' goal late in the third period was little more than window dressing in the high-scoring loss. The 25-year-old had five points over the last nine games of the regular season, finishing the campaign at 40 points in 82 appearances. He's still in a bottom-six role in the playoffs, and he'll likely stay there as long as both Anze Kopitar and Phillip Danault are healthy.
