"Watching the game from up in the stands for three months made me realize any shot is a good shot,"
"It was a nice play by Stromer, puck just slid out to me, and I just needed to get it off quick."
"It wasn't perfect,"
"Game's a lot faster than when I played three months ago, but baby steps. Good players out there for me to play with, so they make my life a lot easier."
Pierre-Luc Dubois returned to the Washington Capitals after missing 47 games following an October 31 injury that required surgery. He scored on the power play with 7:12 remaining in the first period, rifling a top-shelf shot past Justus Annunen after Dylan Strome pressured and the puck slid free. The goal was Dubois's first point of the season after six scoreless October games and follows a career-high 66-point season last year. Head coach Spencer Carbery slotted Dubois between Tom Wilson and Aliaksei Protas, reforming a familiar line. Dubois logged 4:57 in the first, recorded one shot and one scoring chance, and acknowledged rust and the need for gradual progress.
