Washington Capitals center Nic Dowd signed a two-year, $6 million contract extension Wednesday.
Dowd, who turns 35 on May 27, has recorded career-high totals in goals (14), points (27) and games played (81) this season.
He was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
“Nic has been an integral member of our team, both on the ice and in our leadership group, and we are excited to extend his contract for an additional two years,” Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said in a statement. “During his time in Washington, Nic has proven to be a consistent and reliable two-way player who can be trusted in all situations. This signing solidifies our depth at the critical center position as we move forward. Off the ice, Nic has been a consummate professional and has made significant contributions to our community through his charitable efforts.”
To Patrick’s point, Dowd was the recipient of the organization’s Caps Care Community Award in honor of his efforts in the community during the 2024-25 season.
Dowd has 176 points (84 goals, 92 assists) in 581 career games with the Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks and Capitals.
