Capitals' Pierre-Luc Dubois: Ready to return

Dubois (lower body) was taken off injured reserve Saturday.

Ethen Frank, who played in Washington's last two games, was returned to AHL Hershey in a corresponding move. Dubois missed five straight games due to the injury. Now that he's healthy, the 27-year-old should draw into the lineup Saturday versus Ottawa and serve in a top-six capacity with a power-play role.
