Two helpers in Boston Dubois picked up two assists while adding four shots on net, five hits, two PIM and a blocked shot during Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
Impact The 25-year-old center sparked a rally from a 3-1 deficit by having a hand in tallies by Vladislav Gavrikov late in the second period and Alex Laferriere early in the third, setting the stage for a wild finish. It was Dubois' first multi-point performance since Jan. 15, snapping a slump that had seen him manage just two goals and three points over his prior 11 contests. On the season, Dubois has only 24 points (11 goals, 13 assists) in 52 games with a minus-16 rating, a disappointing showing in his first campaign with the Kings.

Tallies opening goal Dubois scored a power-play goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.
Impact Dubois opened the scoring at 2:38 of the second period. His last two goals have come on the power play, though that's all of his offense over his last nine contests. The 25-year-old is one of the players with the most to gain under interim head coach Jim Hiller, who coached his game as Todd McLellan's replacement Saturday. Dubois is up to 11 goals, 21 points, 89 shots on net, 40 hits, 36 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 49 appearances, so he's got plenty of room for improvement over the final two months of the campaign.

Reaches 10-goal mark Dubois scored a power-play goal on two shots, doled out two hits and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.
Impact Dubois snapped a four-game point drought with his first-period marker, which put the Kings ahead 3-1. While he's scored three times in January, Dubois is still searching for consistency while toiling on the Kings' third line. He's at 10 goals, 20 points, 85 shots on net, 31 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-14 rating through 45 appearances this season.

Two-point effort Dubois registered a goal and an assist in the 5-2 win over the Hurricanes on Monday.
Impact After back-to-back 60 plus point seasons with the Jets, Dubois has struggled to produce points for the Kings, putting up only 19 points in 40 games. Against the Hurricanes he was able to score his ninth goal to put the Kings up 4-1 and essentially put the game away for his team. The former 2016 third overall NHL draft pick is only averaging 15:49 TOI and playing on the third line so it will be hard to trust his production.

Benefits from roster shuffle Dubois recorded a pair of assists and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings.
Impact Head coach Todd McLellan pulled out the line blender, with Dubois getting Adrian Kempe on his wing for this contest. It paid off, as Dubois earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 25 by assisting on both of Kempe's tallies. In the 15 games in between, Dubois had just two goals and one assist. The 25-year-old center has 16 points, 69 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 35 appearances this season. So far, he hasn't looked worth the bounty of players or the $8.5 million cap hit the Kings committed to get him out of Winnipeg in the summer, but Thursday could be the spark he needed to get going on offense.

Impact Dubois snapped a 13-game goal drought Saturday. The 25-year-old center had just three helpers with 21 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in that span. His first year with the Kings has not gone to plan, as Dubois has failed to provide much of a challenge to Phillip Danault's second-line role.

Impact Dubois passed the puck to Alex Laferriere, who banked in a shot off goalie Connor Hellebuyck for the Kings' second tally. The assist ended a six-game point drought for Dubois, and it came against his former team. The 25-year-old's first year with the Kings hasn't been all that special -- he's at a mediocre 12 points with 47 shots on net, 16 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 26 appearances. Dubois has filled a third-line center role this season and could see his ice time drop if he can't provide more consistent offense.
