Dubois Resumes Skating But Won’t Return Until After Olympics

Capitals center Pierre-Luc Dubois has started skating as he continues to work his way back from abdominal surgery two months ago, reports Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post (Twitter link).  The original recovery timeline for the procedure was three to four months so he’s past the halfway point now.  However, head coach Spencer Carbery quickly mentioned that the 27-year-old won’t return until after the Olympic break next month.  Dubois got off to a slow start before the injury and was held without a point in his first six games but he was a key contributor last season, tallying a career-high 66 points.  He’ll certainly be a welcome addition for Washington for the stretch run.
