"The 2025-26 campaign was Dowd's eighth with the Capitals since they signed him as a free agent in 2018. The 35-year-old pivot has been a staple on the team's fourth line and penalty kill since joining the team and posted a career best 27 points (14g, 13a) just last season."
"With the move, a spot down the middle on the Capitals has seemingly been permanently opened up for Justin Sourdif. The 23-year-old rookie had been forced out onto the wings in recent games after Pierre-Luc Dubois' return from a long-term injury."
The Washington Capitals traded 35-year-old center Nic Dowd to the Vegas Golden Knights on March 5, 2026. Dowd completed his eighth season with Washington after signing as a free agent in 2018. The veteran posted 16 points in 55 games this season and had recorded a career-best 27 points the previous year. He was signed to a two-year, $6 million extension in April 2025. The trade creates a permanent center position for 23-year-old rookie Justin Sourdif, who had been displaced to the wing following Pierre-Luc Dubois' return from injury.
