The Capitals have signed Nic Dowd to a three-year, $3.9 million ($1.3M AAV) contract extension.



Stone was surprisingly on the ice for the morning skate, taking part in line rushes and on the power-play. All signs are pointing towards him returning to the lineup on Saturday, but head coach Pete DeBoer has officially listed him as a game-time decision.
















Dowd has missed two of the last three games with a lower-body injury that will also keep him out off the lineup on Monday. Moving him to IR frees up a roster spot so the Capitals could bring an extra forward to Tampa. They recalled Aliaksei Protas from Hershey (AHL).
