Dowd notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
Dowd snapped a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 36-year-old has remained a constant on the Golden Knights' fourth line this season. He has three assists, five shots on net, 26 hits, 10 blocked shots, 11 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 14 appearances. While he provides plenty of on-ice value as a defensive center, his scoring potential is heavily limited.

Dowd scored an empty-net goal, added four hits and blocked two shots in a 4-2 win over the Avalanche in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday.
Dowd hadn't earned a point since he scored in a Game 3 loss to the Mammoth in the first round. The 35-year-old doesn't have to score to be effective as a shutdown center on the Golden Knights' fourth line. He has three tallies, 17 shots on net, 32 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 13 playoff contests.

Dowd scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth in Game 3.
Dowd has managed two goals on four shots while adding six hits and a plus-1 rating over three playoff outings. His goal brought the Golden Knights within two with 3:08 left in the third period, but that wasn't enough time to work with. Dowd remains locked in on the fourth line, and if any lineup changes are coming, he would be more likely to gain ice time than he would be to get scratched.

Dowd scored a goal, added three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth in Game 1.
Dowd has two goals and three helpers over his last 10 contests. In the regular season, the defensive center totaled five goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 140 hits, 50 blocked shots and 73 PIM over 75 appearances between the Golden Knights and the Capitals. He brings 40 games of playoff experience into this postseason, though he's earned just six points in those previous outings. Dowd's offense won't be a big factor, but his faceoff skills and reliable defense will keep him in the lineup.

Dowd scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.
Dowd's first goal as a Golden Knight came against his former team. It's fitting that it was a shorthanded tally since Vegas acquired him to bolster their defensive depth at forward. Dowd is up to five goals, 18 points, 59 shots on net, 128 hits, 47 blocked shots, 67 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 67 appearances between Vegas and Washington this season. Dowd should continue to see steady fourth-line usage.

Dowd provided an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
Dowd picked up his first point in five games with the Golden Knights. The 35-year-old forward is up to 17 points, 52 shots on net, 122 hits, 43 blocked shots, 59 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 60 appearances between Vegas and Washington. Dowd has filled a bottom-six role with the Golden Knights, and the team's stronger forward depth has had a limiting factor on his ice time compared to his usage with the Capitals.
