The Washington Capitals have placed center Pierre-Luc Dubois on injured reserve with an illness. The move is retroactive to Oct. 9, the date of his most recent appearance.
Dubois has missed the past three contests, during which Washington fell to the Seattle Kraken and Carolina Hurricanes before defeating the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 on Wednesday. In four games this season, the forward recorded one goal, four points, a plus-4 rating and averaged 17:06 of ice time. He also has 19 points in 29 games in the 2025-26 season.
To fill the roster spot, the Capitals recalled Johnny Brodzinski from the AHL's Hershey Bears. The 33-year-old former New York Ranger has posted two goals and three assists in four games with Hershey this season. Across 264 NHL regular-season appearances, Brodzinski has tallied 33 goals, 38 assists and 71 points. He contributed six goals and 16 points in 55 games last season.
Washington is scheduled to host the New Jersey Devils on Saturday with a 1 p.m. puck drop.
