Dupuis, who has not played since Nov. 15 after being diagnosed a blood clot in his lung, will not play again this season, NHL.com reports. "Based on the doctor's report I don't believe we'll see Pascal this year, and that's a big loss," GM Rutherford said Monday. "He's not going to be cleared to play until June." While Dupuis, who finished with 11 points in 16 games this season, won't play again this season, Rutherford expressed optimism with regard to the veteran forward's playing prospects for the 2015-16 campaign. "I do feel very confident that (Dupuis) will return to the team next year," Rutherford noted Monday.
