Pierrick Dubé

Pierrick Dubé (born 7 January 2001) is a French professional ice hockey right winger who is currently an unrestricted free agent. Dubé was undrafted and played within the Montreal Canadiens' system before joining the Washington Capitals organization.

Playing career Dubé played junior ice hockey with the Quebec Remparts, Chicoutimi Saguenéens, and Shawinigan Cataractes of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). During his final season of junior ice hockey, Dubé helped the Cataractes win the President's Cup, awarded to the QMJHL playoff champions.

After going undrafted, Dubé signed with the Trois-Rivières Lions of the ECHL and played with the team during the 2021–22 season. On 13 October 2022, he signed a professional tryout contract with the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League (AHL) before signing a professional contract with the team.

On 1 July 2023, Dubé signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals and was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears. He was recalled from the Bears on 21 February 2024, and made his NHL debut three days later in a 3–2 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers.

On 4 June 2024, Dubé suffered a gruesome injury when he was struck in the face by a shot from Ethen Frank, during game three of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Monsters. Losing "five or six teeth" along with "twelve pounds" over the next week, he missed the following three games. He returned eight days later for game seven and scored a goal in Hershey's series-clinching win.

As a free agent from the Capitals after not being tendered a qualifying offer, Dubé halted his career in North America and was signed to a one-year contract with Russian based, Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL, on 17 July 2025.

On 8 November 2025, Dubé was traded by Traktor Chelyabinsk to SKA Saint Petersburg in exchange for defenseman Nikita Smirnov and financial compensation. On 14 January 2026, Dubé's contract with the SKA hockey club has been terminated at the initiative of the player. On 21 January 2026, Dubé returned to North America and the AHL in agreeing to a contract for the remainder of the season with the Bridgeport Islanders, affiliate to the New York Islanders.

Personal life Dubé was born in Lyon, while his father, Roger, was playing professionally in France. With his family's support, Dubé moved to Canada at age 14 to continue his ice hockey development.
