Impact Dowd opened the scoring early in the second period by deflecting a shot past Anthony Stolarz, and he recorded the primary helper on Aliaksei Protas' empty-net tally to seal the win. Dowd added three shots, one block, one hit and a plus-2 rating in 11:54 of ice time.

The 34-year-old has generated eight goals, 11 points and a plus-7 rating through 26 contests.

Impact Dowd has scored in four of the last six games. His tally Saturday was the Capitals' fifth in a first-period blitz that gave them plenty of offense in the win. The 34-year-old center is up to five points, 16 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-7 rating through 10 contests. Dowd should continue to provide decent depth scoring in a bottom-six role, though his pace is likely to slow down since he's never had more than 25 points in a single campaign.
