Dowd logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Dowd set up a Jakob Chychrun tally in the second period. While playing as the listed fourth-line center, Dowd was second among Capitals forwards with 17:57 of ice time in this win. The 34-year-old's contributions are mostly defensive in nature, but he has been able to top 20 points in four of the last six seasons while playing in no more than 65 games in any of those years. In deeper fantasy formats that count hits, he can also provide some value, especially if he continues to play a larger-than-expected role in 2024-25.
