Nic Dowd Out Against Lightning
Washington Capitals center Nic Dowd (upper body) will miss Saturday's clash against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The veteran took part in an optional skate on Saturday morning but is forced to sit out a third straight game with an upper-body injury. Dowd has picked up five points (one goal, four assists) in 19 outings this season, handing out 33 hits. His next opportunity to return will be in Monday's matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Sonny Milano has stepped into the lineup as Dowd's replacement and will carry some momentum into Saturday's contest after scoring twice in Thursday's 8-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
