Nic Dowd has an unclear role to play for the Washington Capitals.
With free agency largely over for the Capitals, and the roster picture becoming clear, there are only a few surprises left to unwrap. Dowd is certainly the most interesting of the Caps prospects as he’s the only newcomer to the organization.
Dowd made his NHL debut with the Los Angeles Kings in the 2015-16 season only mustering five games played. 2016-17 looked better as he laced up for 70 contests and showed some flashes of excellence in the faceoff dot and finished with a respectable 145 hits.
