The Capitals center has `16 points in 55 games this season.
The Washington Capitals have traded center Nic Dowd to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2029 second-round pick, a 2028 third-round pick and goaltender Jesper Vikman.
Dowd has been an integral part of the Capitals' lineup since his arrival in 2018-19, primarily playing the role of fourth-line center. He signed a two-year extension last April with an AAV of $3 million.
It's been a bit of a difficult season for the 35-year-old, who has four goals and 12 assists for 16 points, along with a minus-6 rating, through 55 games.
Dealing Dowd could indicate a potential sellers' approach to the NHL Trade Deadline for Washington, who is four points out of a playoff spot.
