Nic Dowd Listed As Day-To-Day For Capitals
9 months agoWashington Capitals center Nic Dowd (upper body) is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury suffered during Tuesday's win over the New Jersey Devils. He left after the first period and did not return. A bottom-six, defensive-minded pivot, Dowd has tallied a decent eight goals and 16 points across 45 games in his sixth season in Washington. He is also a plus-eight on a Capitals team sporting a minus-32 overall goal differential. The 33-year-old's ice time currently sits at a career-high 15:27 per night, as the Capitals have lost depth down the middle with both Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov out of the lineup indefinitely. The Caps currently sit at 25-21-8, good for sixth place in the Metropolitan Division.
