A few leftovers from Saturday night's loss in Tampa. [Rink, RMNB, Lightning] The Washington Capitals announced yesterday that Pierre-Luc Dubois will miss 3-4 months after undergoing surgery to repair two muscle injuries. [WaPo ($), NHL, AP, SI, THN, RMNB, DCB] With PLD out for an extended period of time, what are the Caps' options at center? [THN] Washington prospect Alex Suzdalev scored his first AHL goal yesterday in the Hershey Bears' win over the Rochester Americans.
Carbery didn't provide much else, other than saying the team didn't know whether Dubois would need surgery to repair his lower-body ailment. The club's bench boss was asked a follow-up question on Tuesday about whether the Capitals believed Dubois would not return for another game during the 2025-26 campaign. "No, we do not think it's going to be season-ending," Carbery said. "Just an extended period of time at this point. No update on him."
