Listen "Dowd's 2-year extension | Is Leonard living up to expectation | Caps vs Pens"
Episode Synopsis
In today's episode of Locked On Capitals, exciting news broke with Nic Dowd signing a two-year contract extension worth $3 million per season, keeping him in Washington through the 2026-27 season. Currently enjoying a breakout year with career highs in goals and points, Dowd has been praised by management for his crucial two-way play, particularly as part of “Dowder’s line,” which tackles tough defensive matchups. Beyond his contributions on the ice, Dowd has made a positive impact off the ice, earning a community service award for his philanthropy efforts, including his initiative that helps children with sensory issues enjoy Capitals games. Additionally, the Capitals are preparing for the playoffs and facing the Pittsburgh Penguins for the regular season finale. Despite a rocky stretch of games, the team recently secured a much-needed victory against the New York Islanders. The episode also highlighted rookie Ryan Leonard’s debut after joining from Boston College, as he seeks to find his footing in the NHL amid the pressure of being in Ovechkin's shadow. As the playoffs approach, the Capitals are not only looking to solidify their performance but also watching other key players, including Dylan Strome and Sidney Crosby, as they continue their push for postseason success.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.
