Nic Dowd Taken Out By An Upper-Body Injury
10 months agoWashington Capitals center Nic Dowd suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over New Jersey. He exited the action after the first period, finishing with 6:20 of ice time. Dowd entered Tuesday's clash with a three-game point streak and has done well on a struggling team all season. He's highly valued for his defensive capabilities and boasts 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 45 appearances with a team-best plus-eight rating. Nicolas Aube-Kubel is in line to step into the lineup if Dowd is forced to sit on Thursday versus Tampa Bay.
