Dowd played only 6:20 time-on-ice before exiting Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury. Before his injury, Dowd was riding a season-best three-game point streak, scoring three points (1G / 2A). The Devils return to action on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Dowd left the game in the first period due to the upper-body injury and was unable to return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury in the coming days.
No further details have been given in terms of the nature or the expected timeline of the injury, but the Capitals will miss the depth scoring and adept penalty-killing Dowd provides. The 33-year-old centreman tallied 13 goals and 12 assists in 65 games for the Capitals last season, and has managed to score double-digit goals in three straight seasons despite being limited to a fourth-line role. Anthony Mantha will draw back into the lineup in place of Dowd.
Dowd has 13 goals, 12 assists, 62 SOG, 26 PIMs and a +6 plus/minus through 65 games played this season but will not play Monday vs. the New York Islanders due to an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old is considered day-to-day until there are more updates on the centreman.
Dowd has not played since January 16th due to a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision Tuesday vs. Detroit. The 32-year-old has been enjoying his most productive season to date, with his 10 goals, nine assists, 42 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +9 plus/minus through 44 games prior to his injury.
The Capitals did not have an update on Dowd's status postgame, so consider him questionable to play Tuesday. If Dowd's out, look for Lars Eller to draw back into the lineup to replace him.
Dowd has 10 goals, 17 points, 38 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 39 games and missed his first contest of the year Thursday for the birth of his child.
