On June 27, 2023, the Kings thought they had made the biggest acquisition of the off-season. They had acquired Pierre-Luc Dubois.

The experiment didn’t even last a year, as last June he was traded to the Capitals.

Clearly, playing without pressure and moderate expectations are smiling on the Québécois. In Washington, he’s a changed player, so much so that a few weeks ago, his coach said he was the Caps’ best player.

What you need to know is that Washington is still greatly pleased with the Québécois’ performance.

The Capitals are very happy. That’s what Pierre LeBrun told RDS during the first intermission of the Canadiens-Wild game.

In 15 games this season, PLD has nine points, but only one goal. But night after night, he plays against the best opposing trios. In the dressing room and on the ice, he maintains a great attitude. It’s the facet of his game that most impresses GM Chris Patrick.

When Alex Ovechkin’s team acquired PLD, it wasn’t necessarily unanimous, but after ten games or so, we can say that the trade with the Kings was a success.

It must be said that Patrick only gave away Darcy Kuemper…

For PLD, the change was good for him, and he’ll be able to witness history in the very near future, as Ovi breaks Wayne Gretzky’s goal-scoring record.

Overtime

– Nice shot.

– Jets: first in NHL, 30th in attendance.

– Very nice game.
