INJURIES
Two-point night Wednesday Dubois picked up two assists in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flyers.
Impact The 28-year-old center collected his first points since coming off IR on Saturday, helping to set up Aliaksei Protas' game-winner in the second period and an Alex Tuch empty-netter in the third. Dubois has been feast or famine when he's been on the ice this season, recording three two-point performances in six games but getting held off the scoresheet completely in the other three. All told, he's delivered one goal, five assists, nine shots on net, eight PIM, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-6 rating.

Ready to rock Dubois (illness) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Buffalo on Saturday, Sammi Silber of The District Standard reports.
Impact Following a five-game absence, Dubois will return to a top-six role and see time on the power play. He has collected one goal, three assists, six shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and six PIM in four appearances this season.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
On track to return Saturday Dubois (illness) skated Wednesday in a regular jersey and appears to be on track to return to game action Saturday against the Sabres, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Dubois has missed the last five games due to his illness, but his return to action appears to be imminent. The Capitals returned Jonny Brodzinski to AHL Hershey on Wednesday, and Dubois' participation level in Wednesday's practice suggests that he's slated to return Saturday. Across his first four regular-season appearances this year, Dubois has recorded a goal, three assists, six PIM, five hits and three blocked shots while averaging 17:06 of ice time.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Moves to IR Dubois (illness) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact The Capitals recalled Jonny Brodzinski from AHL Hershey in a corresponding move. Dubois will miss his fourth straight game against New Jersey on Saturday. He has earned one goal, three assists, six shots on net, five hits and three blocked shots in four appearances this season.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Not yet ready to return Dubois (illness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Devils, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Dubois will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game due to his illness, and he hasn't yet returned to practice. Head coach Spencer Carbery said Friday that Dubois' next step in his recovery process will be returning to the team's facility before he's in the mix to return to game action, so it seems as though he can be considered out until he at least rejoins the Capitals for practice.
OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Remains out Wednesday Dubois (illness) will miss Wednesday's game against Montreal, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Dubois also missed Washington's past two games. He has a goal and four points in four outings this campaign. Ilya Protas has been serving on the top line while Dubois has been on the shelf.
OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out Tuesday Dubois (illness) won't travel with the team for Tuesday's clash with the Hurricanes, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact With the Caps heading into a back-to-back, it's possible Dubois will be healthy in time to face the Canadiens on Wednesday. Without the veteran center in the lineup, Ilya Protas looks set to feature on the top line with Alex Ovechkin. Through four games this year, Dubois has notched one goal and three assists, but he has zero power-play points despite averaging 2:57 of ice time with the man advantage.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Sunday Dubois (illness) won't play against Seattle on Sunday.
Impact Dubois will miss at least one game, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play against Carolina on Tuesday. He has contributed one goal, three assists, six shots on net, five hits and three blocked shots in four appearances this season. Ethen Frank or Ivan Miroshnichenko will replace Dubois in Sunday's lineup against the Kraken.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Game-time decision Sunday Dubois (illness) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's home clash against the Kraken, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Dubois missed Saturday's practice with an illness, and it seems that some effects of his sickness have continued to linger ahead of Sunday's clash. The 28-year-old center's plan is to take warmups before making a decision on whether or not he'll play Sunday. He's off to a solid start to the 2026-27 season, where he's posted a goal, four points, six shots on net, five hits and three blocked shots across four appearances. Ethen Frank and Ivan Miroshnichenko will also take warmups Sunday in case Dubois can't go.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from practice Saturday Dubois (illness) will not participate in practice on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.
Impact Dubois is currently dealing with an illness and won't hit the ice for practice. It remains to be seen whether or not the 28-year-old center is at risk of missing Sunday's home clash against the Kraken, so his status will be monitored closely over the next 24 hours. He's a point per game so far in 2026-27 with a goal and three assists, so if he's to miss Sunday's game, it will be a tough break for the Capitals. If he can't go against Seattle, either Ivan Miroshnichenko or Ethen Frank will likely enter the lineup.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
One of each in win Dubois scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Penguins.
Impact Dubois has earned a pair of multi-point efforts over the first three games of the season. He and Tom Wilson assisted each other's tallies in this contest. Dubois is up to a goal, three helpers, five shots on net, three hits, six PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 28-year-old is filling a top-six role to begin the campaign and looks set for a productive year as an all-around contributor.

Capitals top Penguins 5-3 in Alex Ovechkin's final home opener in Washington

Tom Wilson had a goal and two assists, and the Washington Capitals held on for a win in Alex Ovechkin’s final home opener, 5-3 over the Pittsburgh Penguins
OCTOBER 8 • Associated Press
Starts season with two helpers Dubois logged a pair of assists, four PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Impact Dubois saw just 12:08 of ice time, in part due to his time in the sin bin. The 28-year-old center should maintain a top-six role for the bulk of 2026-27, and he'll be looking to bounce back from his injury-plagued campaign last year. In 2025-26, he was limited to 19 points in 29 appearances. Dubois doesn't hit as much as he used to, but he can still be a solid source of PIM with 60-point potential if everything goes right.

Slings two assists Dubois notched two power-play assists in Friday's 3-2 preseason overtime win over the Bruins.
Impact Dubois is likely to center the second line to start 2026-27. The 28-year-old is poised for a bounce-back year if he can stay healthy, as the upgrades the Capitals made to their forward group should elevate his play. Dubois was limited to 19 points in 29 appearances in 2025-26, but he had logged at least 60 points in three of the previous four campaigns, giving him a decent ceiling for fantasy purposes.

On ice Friday Dubois (hand) took part in Friday's informal skate with teammates, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Dubois missed the regular-season finale versus the Blue Jackets but looks poised to start the 2026-27 season without any limitations. While the veteran center continued to find ways to produce, he only scored one goal in his last 18 contests while chipping in 12 helpers. With injuries limiting Dubois to just 29 appearances last year, he failed to reach the 20-goal mark for just the fourth time in his career. Dubois is set to be a bounce-back candidate heading into the 2026-27 campaign.

Has fractured hand Dubois suffered a fractured hand during Sunday's 3-0 win over Pittsburgh, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Impact Dubois missed Washington's season finale Tuesday due to what was previously classified as an upper-body injury. The Capitals didn't make the playoffs, so Dubois has plenty of time to focus on his recovery. The 27-year-old is hoping to avoid surgery and be fine in a month or two. He finished 2025-26 with five goals and 19 points in 29 outings.

Out with upper-body injury Dubois will be sidelined versus Columbus on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Dubois will see his season end having played in just 29 regular-season contests in which he generated five goals and 14 assists, including six power-play points. It's the lowest goal total of the 27-year-old center's NHL career, though injuries were certainly a significant factor. He'll be a risky fantasy play heading into 2026-27, but could put up 20-30 goals when fully fit.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Set to play Dubois (upper body) is expected to play against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Impact Dubois appears to be good to go after being limited to just 7:02 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Penguins. He has accumulated five goals, 18 points, 40 shots on net and 23 hits in 28 appearances this season.
