WINNIPEG - The bubble version of Pierre-Luc Dubois has been mostly missing in action.
More of a mythological figure than a dominant force with any frequency since joining the Winnipeg Jets in the blockbuster deal that sent Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic to the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Make no mistake, there have been glimpses including a pair of overtime winners and three-point outings for Dubois, who was acquired to provide the long-term solution at second-line centre for the Jets.

Kyle Connor scored twice including the eventual winner, while captain Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele each had two assists as Winnipeg beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-2 on Friday in the regular-season finale for both teams. I feel good going into the playoffs, playing with Mark and Kyle obviously a lot to be excited about, said Wheeler. I think we re playing at the same speed, I think we re kind of all on the same page. Sometimes when things aren t going good the tendency is to try as hard as you can and sometimes you try too hard. I think we are in a good rhythm right now. You give Kyle looks around the net and you ll score goals.

Frederik Andersen allowed four goals in Wednesday s 4-3 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators. Andersen hadn t started a game since March 19 and it showed in his performance. Though fortunately for the Leafs, the 31-year-old had this game to shake off the rust before their playoff matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. Assuming he doesn t see any action in relief in Friday s regular-season finale, Andersen will finish the year with a 13-8-3 record and a 2.96 goals-against average and .895 save percentage.
