Capitals place Pierre-Luc Dubois on injured reserve
"In an accompanying roster move, defenseman Dylan McIlrath was added back to the Capitals' active roster after successfully rehabbing a lower-body injury suffered on October 4 during the Capitals' final preseason game. Dubois's IR designation means he must miss at least seven days retroactive to the date when he was originally hurt - a lower-body injury suffered on October 12 against the Rangers."
"Dubois is eligible to return for the Capitals' game against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, but Spencer Carbery ruled him out after practice, as the French Canadian centerman skated in a non-contact jersey for the second consecutive day. "Well, it won't be tomorrow, for sure," Carbery said. "At some point, he's going to have to get into a regular jersey, so hopefully, Monday and we'll see where it goes but too early to tell.""
Pierre-Luc Dubois was placed on injured reserve after suffering a lower-body injury on October 12 against the Rangers and must miss at least seven days retroactive to the injury date. Dubois skated in a non-contact jersey for the second consecutive day and was ruled out for the Capitals' Sunday game against Vancouver, with a potential return contingent on returning to a regular jersey, possibly by Monday. Defenseman Dylan McIlrath was added back to the active roster after rehabbing a lower-body injury sustained on October 4 during the final preseason game. The Capitals recalled Ethen Frank for depth and saw Vincent Iorio claimed off waivers by Vancouver. Connor McMichael shifted from wing to center, and Hendrix Lapierre now serves as the third-line center.
