Dowd was forced to leave Tuesday's game in Toronto with a lower-body injury and is officially listed as day-to-day. Dowd is unlikely to play Friday vs. the Sabres, so look for Chandler Stephenson to draw back into the lineup.
Wilson also missed Tuesday's morning skate but suited up in Calgary, where he scored for a second straight game. Wilson comes into Thursday's game with four goals and two assists (six points) in 11 games on the season.
Mangiapane has missed the last two games but will play Tuesday vs. the Capitals. Mangiapane has scored in back-to-back games and is averaging nearly two shots per game despite playing just 10:54 ATOI in eight games this year.

van Riemsdyk has overcome an early-season shoulder injury and will play Friday in Anaheim. The Ducks sent Brian Gibbons back to Charlotte (AHL) and opened the door for van Riemsdyk to dress as a seventh defenseman. He had three goals and 11 assists (14 points) in 78 games last season.

Milano had just one goal in eight games with Columbus last season. He spent most of the year in Cleveland (AHL), where he had 24 points (11G / 13A) in 27 games. He will replace Josh Anderson, who is day-to-day with an injury.
Fehervary played well in his first three NHL games but heads back to Hershey with Evgeny Kuznetsov now on the active roster and Michal Kempny set to return soon from a hamstring injury.
Bear was sent to the AHL on Thursday but it was always believed to be a “paper move” while they moved Adam Larsson to LTIR. Bear is back with the big club and should be in the lineup on Saturday.
This is believed to be cap maneuvering with Adam Larsson going on LTIR. Bear was a minus-1 in 15:33 TOI in the season-opening win and has been replaced on the roster by Evan Bouchard, for now.
Mangiapane spent most of his time in the NHL in 2019, scoring eight goals with five assists (13 points) in 44 games with the Flames. Mangiapane will likely be reserved to a fourth-line role, with Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk and Milan Lucic ahead of him on the depth chart.
Priskie, 23, was a sixth-round pick (No. 177 overall) in 2016 and is set to turn pro following his senior campaign at Quinnipiac University. This past season, Priskie had 17 goals and 22 assists (39 points) in 36 games with Bobcats.
After showing flashes of his potential in 2018, Vrana took another step forward in 2019, setting a carer-high in goals (24), assists (23) and points (47) in 82 games. Vrana did that while barely averaging over 14 minutes per game but could easily play closer to 16 minutes in the Capitals top-6 in 2020. With increased playing time, Vrana could be a legit 60-plus point threat.
