Tonight, the CBJ lost to the Nashville Predators 3-1. The only goal was scored on a rush by Pierre-Luc Dubois, which represents visible strides taken by this young player with each game. It won't always be this way. He will hit plateaus, have slumps, get hot, just like every other player. This is a normal progression, with the exception of how well he has played over the last few games.
Dubois has shown a steady progression early in this 2017-18 season, and has shown signs that he may be a driver of play in the future. He certainly did his part in that department tonight, scoring the only goal, but also being a visible presence all over the ice.
