Fantasy Impact

Dowd continues a productive stretch in the offensive zone, notching points in three of his last four games, three goals, one assist) for the Capitals. The veteran remains a solid two-way option as part of the Washington lineup most nights, picking up 11 points (eight goals, three assists) while also racking up 53 hits, 32 penalty minutes, and 24 blocked shots in 26 games so far this season.

Nic Dowd scored for the fifth time this season in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils. Dowd also added three SOG, four hits, and two blocks to the stat sheet.

Fantasy Impact

Dowd has played well for the Capitals’ fourth line this season. He currently does not hold much fantasy value.

Nic Dowd tallied his fourth assist and third goal of the season in a loss to Chicago. Dowd had two SOG and six hits in 15:20 of ice time.

Fantasy Impact

Dowd has been a productive member for the Capitals’ fourth line. However, with just seven points on the season, he currently is not a productive player for fantasy.

Per Samantha Pell on Twitter, the Capitals have placed center Nic Dowd on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact

With Dowd and T.J Oshie both on IR, this opens the door for Connor McMichael and Hendrix Lapierre to play more meaningful minutes.

Dowd scored in the first period and short-handed in the third period; he was credited with helping Richard Panik in the first period of the 5-2 victory on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

At 15 points in 55 games (+11), picking this fourth-liner is risky for fantasy players.
