Winnipeg Jets trade Pierre-Luc Dubois to Los Angeles Kings for multiple players and a draft pick

The Winnipeg Jets have traded forward Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Gabe Vilardi, Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, and a 2024 second-round draft pick. Elliotte Friedman was first to report the full details.

Dubois made it clear to the Jets in early June that he would not be signing any sort of contract to keep him in Winnipeg long term and would prefer to be moved elsewhere. He has received his wish.

Dubois has reportedly already signed an 8-year extension worth $68 million with Los Angeles.

The Caps were never really in that game despite what the scoreboard said: numbers for the morning after

The Washington Capitals had their mini, two-game winning streak halted by the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. The Kings, solidly in the Western Conference playoff picture, beat up all over the Caps in an eventual 4-2 victory.

This was an incredibly ugly effort from the road team.

Kings beat Caps 4-2 in last late-night game of the season (yay)

The Washington Capitals, in defiance of all decency, played a very late-night game against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night/Tuesday morning. Some of us have work in the morning.

The Kings clobbered the Caps in the first period, but the score remained null. Rasmus Sandin scored his first as a Cap with an improbable double-whiff to score. Deadline pick-up Vladislav Gavrikov returned fire with a clean-up shot, and then Viktor Arvidsson tipped in a go-ahead goal in the second period’s final minute.

In the third, Alex Ovechkin got a one-timer from the Ovi Spot to tie it up, but Mikey Anderson restored LA’s lead with a rush goal. Adrian Kempe got an empty-netter just before the buzzer.

Caps lose 4-2.

Pheonix Copley signs one-year extension with LA Kings

We’ve been following ex-Caps goalie Pheonix Copley‘s unlikely rise from the ashes for some time now. Last summer, Copley was signed to be the backup-to-the-backup by the Los Angeles Kings, but he’s become the team’s best backstop of late.

The Kings evidently like what they see. On Friday night, they announced they’ve signed Copley to a one-year contract extension worth $1.5 million.

Ex-Caps goalie Pheonix Copley is crushing it with the LA Kings

Pheonix Copley played his last game as a Washington Capital almost one year ago, a loss to Columbus Blue Jackets in which Copley allowed four goals on 19 shots. Copley’s contract expired that summer as part of the Caps’ total goalie overhaul, and for a while Copley seemed like an afterthought in the upheaval. He signed a one-year deal with the Kings near league minimum and started the season as the third man down in Los Angeles’ goalie depth chart.

Now, Copley has the third best win-loss ratio in the league — behind only Boston’s Linus Ullmark and Carolina’s Antti Raanta.

Marginally watchable! Caps beat Kings 4-3

For the second straight game, the Washington Capitals played one good period out of three. Except this time that was enough to fend off the Los Angeles Kings.

After a scoreless first, in which the score was nonetheless 0-0, Sean Durzi caught a pass from below the goal line to make it 1-0 early in the second. Phillip Danault doubled that lead by tapping in a lateral pass.

Things got better. Nic Dowd gave the Caps a breath of life early in the third, scoring after Snively’s whiff and through a screen. Under a minute later, John Carlson scored a rush goal to tie it up. Lars Eller finished a gritty shift with a one-timer from the slot to give Washington a lead that did not last long. On a breakaway, Trevor Moore fed Viktor Arvidsson to tie it up again. But Marcus Johansson gave Washington their final lead with a classic Marcus wraparound goal with five minutes left.

Caps win!
