Dubois (illness) returned to Washington's practice in a non-contact jersey on Monday.

Dubois has missed four straight games, but appears to be inching closer to a return after practicing in a non-contact jersey on Monday. The 28-year-old was enjoying a successful start to the season before his injury, with a goal, four points and six PIMs while averaging 17:06 TOI in four games.

Dubois (lower-body) will be out for an "extended period of time".

Dubois missed five games earlier this season due to a lower-body injury. He returned and suited up for three games before exiting the third contest due to a lower-body injury, and will not be sidelined indefinitely. It's unclear if the two injuries are related. The 27-year-old Dubois had a career-high 66 points (20G / 46A) in 82 games in 2024-25, but has started this season with zero points in six games.

Dubois suffered a lower-body injury in Friday's game against the Islanders and will not return.

Dubois suffered the injury toward the end of the first period of Friday's game and was unable to return. It's unfortunate timing for the Capitals, who are already without centre Dylan Strome (lower-body). We should get an update on Dubois' status ahead of Washington's game in Buffalo on Saturday.
