"Dowd has been activated from injured reserve ahead of the team's matchup with the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night. Dowd missed his eighth-straight game with an upper-body injury on Tuesday night, missing the Capitals' 3-1 win against his former team, the Los Angeles Kings. The 35-year-old centerman was placed on IR last week, earning Trineyev the first NHL recall of his career."
"Trineyev was able to be freely sent back to the Bears, as he had already cleared waivers when he was cut from the Capitals' training camp roster and hadn't been on the NHL roster for 30 cumulative days or played in 10 games. He was a healthy scratch in all four games the team played with him on the roster."
"The veteran pivot has been a regular at Capitals practice since being placed on IR, but head coach Spencer Carbery was unable to provide a timeline for his return. Before leaving the lineup, Dowd was serving as the team's third-line center between Ryan Leonard and Anthony Beauvillier. Dowd has recorded five points (1g, 4a) in 19 games for the Capitals this season. He had a career high of 27 points (14, 13a) in 82 games last year."
Nic Dowd has been activated from injured reserve ahead of the Capitals' game against the San Jose Sharks. Dowd missed eight straight games with an upper-body injury and was placed on IR last week. Dowd had been practicing regularly but no return timeline was provided by head coach Spencer Carbery. Before the injury, Dowd skated as the team's third-line center between Ryan Leonard and Anthony Beauvillier. Bogdan Trineyev, who earned his first NHL recall, was loaned back to the Hershey Bears after clearing waivers and being a healthy scratch in four NHL games. Trineyev recorded 12 points in 15 games for Hershey and returns to a Bears team that has won six of its last ten games.
