Golden Age Returns in Full Force: Pierre-Luc Dubois Joins Team, Fueeling Upcoming Epic Matchups and Thrilling Hits!
The Capitals center said it's important for him to be a resource and provide a home for the Capitals young players.
ARLINGTON, V. A. — Pierre-Luc Dubois and his wife, Maddie, missed having Ryan Leonard around the house.
So, when 19-year-old Cole Hutson signed with the Washington Capitals, Maddie gave the green light for Dubois to open his home to the rookie. As he did with Leonard last season, Dubois invited Hutson to stay with him as he gets acclimated to D. C.
Hutson needed some time to think it over as he navigated a hectic 72 hours following the end of his NCAA career , where he quickly packed his dorm room up and flew to D. C. to begin his NHL career, but he's eager to accept.
"I don't think I could do this hotel for much longer," Hutson quipped. For Dubois, now 27 and nine years into his NHL career, it goes beyond just providing lodging. It's about giving players somewhere they can feel welcome and secure, something that David Savard did for Dubois when he was just starting out and living in a hotel during his time with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
