Tallies game-winner Sunday Dowd scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth in Game 1.

Impact Dowd has two goals and three helpers over his last 10 contests. In the regular season, the defensive center totaled five goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 140 hits, 50 blocked shots and 73 PIM over 75 appearances between the Golden Knights and the Capitals. He brings 40 games of experience into this postseason, though he's earned just six points in those previous playoff outings. Dowd's offense won't be a big factor, but his faceoff skills and reliable defense will keep him in the lineup.

Scores shortie against former team Dowd scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

Impact Dowd's first goal as a Golden Knight came against his former team. It's fitting that it was a shorthanded tally since Vegas acquired him to bolster their defensive depth at forward. Dowd is up to five goals, 18 points, 59 shots on net, 128 hits, 47 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 67 appearances between Vegas and Washington this season. Dowd should continue to see steady fourth-line usage.

First point with new team Dowd provided an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Dowd picked up his first point in five games with the Golden Knights. The 35-year-old forward is up to 17 points, 52 shots on net, 122 hits, 43 blocked shots, 59 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 60 appearances between Vegas and Washington. Dowd has filled a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, and the team's stronger forward depth has had a limiting factor on his ice time compared to his usage with the Capitals.

Impact The Golden Knights acquired a veteran center who should see third-line minutes. Dowd had four goals, 12 assists and 113 hits across 55 games with Washington. He takes plenty of faceoffs, winning 373 of 766 draws with the Capitals in 2025-26. To make room on the roster, the Golden Knights placed Mark Stone (upper body) on injured reserve.
