Nic Dowd - Page 4 - NHL News & Rumors

Unavailable Saturday Dowd (upper body) won't play against Tampa Bay on Saturday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Despite participating in the morning skate, Dowd remains day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. He has contributed one goal, four assists, 21 shots on net and 33 hits across 19 appearances this season. Once he's ready to play, Dowd will probably replace Sonny Milano on Washington's fourth line.

Won't travel for Thursday's game Dowd (upper body) won't travel to Montreal for Thursday's game and will be evaluated when the Capitals return home, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Dowd was a late scratch for Wednesday's contest and will miss at least one more before he's able to return. His ongoing absence should allow Sonny Milano to stay in the Capitals' lineup versus the Canadiens on Thursday. Beyond that, Dowd's status is uncertain until his injury is examined further.

Not expected to play Wednesday Dowd (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups and is not expected to play Wednesday versus the Oilers, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Dowd is reportedly banged up and will sit out the first half of a back-to-back at a minimum. It's a tough on-ice loss for the Capitals, as Dowd's defensive instincts will be missed against the Oilers' top players. Sonny Milano will draw into the lineup Wednesday, while Dowd will try to be ready for Thursday's game in Montreal.

Two points in Tuesday's win Dowd produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact The veteran grinder opened the scoring midway through the first period by tapping home a slick feed from John Carlson, and Dowd then got the puck to Tom Wilson for an empty-netter late in the third. Dowd had gone without a point through the first six contests of the season, but offense isn't his game -- last season's 14 goals and 27 points were career highs. With 14 hits in those seven appearances though, he's well on his way to reaching triple digits in that category for a seventh straight campaign.

Back with team Dowd (personal) skated with the non-game group during Tuesday's practice, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Dowd skated on his own Monday after being absent from training camp since last Tuesday due to a personal matter. The 35-year-old forward accounted for 14 goals, 27 points, 82 blocked shots and 128 hits across 82 regular-season games in 2024-25.

Not playing Thursday Dowd (personal) will not be in the lineup versus the Flyers on Thursday.

Impact Dowd hasn't rejoined the team yet but could still be an option to play versus the Devils on Sunday. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, the 35-year-old center should slot into a bottom-six role and figures to be a near-lock for the 20-point threshold after reaching that mark in each of the previous four seasons.

Won't practice Tuesday Dowd will miss Tuesday's training camp session due to personal reasons, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Dowd has been nothing but consistent for the Caps over the last four years, reaching both the 10-goal and 20-point thresholds in each of the previous four seasons. It should be more of the same from the veteran center this year, as he figures to remain in a bottom-six role while seeing time on the penalty kill.
