The Vegas Golden Knights acquired center Nic Dowd from the Washington Capitals on Thursday in exchange for goaltender Jesper Vikman, a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft and a second-round selection in 2029.
Vegas also placed captain Mark Stone (upper-body injury) on injured reserve Thursday after the forward exited Sunday's game at Pittsburgh following a check to his left arm. Stone, who missed the last two games, is among the team's leading scorers this season with 60 points (21 goals, 39 assists) in 43 games.
Over 749 NHL games with the Ottawa Senators (2012-19) and Golden Knights, Stone has 694 points (252 goals, 443 assists) and a plus-17 rating.
Dowd, 35, has recorded 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) and 113 hits in 55 games this season. He is one season removed from posting career-high totals in goals (14) and points (27).
Dowd has 192 points (88 goals, 104 assists) and a plus-16 rating in 637 career games with the Los Angeles Kings (2015-17), Vancouver Canucks (2017-18) and Capitals. He was selected by the Kings in the seventh round of the 2009 NHL Draft.
Vikman, 23, has an 8-7-3 record with a 3.41 goals-against average and .886 save percentage this season with the Henderson Silver Knights of the American Hockey League.
He was selected by the Golden Knights in the fifth round of the 2020 NHL Draft.
