Pierre-Luc Dubois Benched On Thursday
4 years agoColumbus Blue Jackets center Pierre-Luc Dubois saw just 3:55 of time on ice in his team's 3-2 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. After demonstrating a clear lack of effort throughout a shift in the first period, Jackets Head Coach John Tortorella stapled Dubois to the bench for the entirety of the second, third and overtime frames. Having reportedly requested a trade out of Columbus, Dubois is not necessarily helping his trade value with just one point through the first five games of the campaign. Drafted in the top-100 in most Yahoo! fantasy drafts, the 22-year-old has morphed into a questionable starting option in fantasy due to his surrounding drama. He'll look to earn more ice time in a rematch with the Bolts on Saturday.
