His power-play tally marked both a new career high in points and his 20th goal of the season. Overall, the 26-year-old center is up to 64 points in 78 appearances this season. He's now reached the 60-point mark four times and has 20 or more goals in five of his eight NHL seasons.

Pots power-play goal Dubois scored a power-play goal, tallied two shots on net and had six PIM in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Sabres.
Impact Dubois found the back of the net for Washington's final goal of the game off a feed from Alex Ovechkin. With the power-play tally, Dubois is up to 19 goals, 62 points and 128 shots on net in 73 appearances this season. The 26-year-old center is nearing his career high in points from the 2022-23 season of 63 tallies. Not only is Dubois on pace to set a new career-best point total but also is within striking distance of reaching the 70-point mark for the first time in his career. He has been one of the pieces Washington has relied on to reach the 100-point mark as a team this season and Dubois should continue to provide good value in all fantasy formats while serving as the top-line center.

Impact His goal stood as the winner. Dubois put the Caps up at 8:16 of the third period when he carried the biscuit into the offensive zone and wired a perfect wrist shot far side from the left dot. Dubois' resurrection in D.C. has him just three points from his career high-water mark of 63, which he set in 2022-23. And he's done it in only 68 games. A 70-plus point season is entirely possible.
