Rangers' Justin Dowling: Collects three helpers in AHL win
Dowling logged three assists in AHL Hartford's 5-2 win over Springfield on Friday.
Dowling has gone six games without a goal, but he has six assists in that span. For the season, the veteran forward has four goals and 11 helpers through 20 contests. He won't wow with his offense, often hovering in the 40-50 point range in the AHL, but he could be a candidate for a call-up if the Rangers want to remodel their fourth line at any point.

Rangers' Justin Dowling: Pots pair for Hartford in win
Dowling scored two goals in AHL Hartford's 4-1 win over Charlotte on Wednesday.
Dowling had just one assist over the first six games of the AHL campaign. The 35-year-old is an experienced veteran and could be an option if the Rangers want to go with a defensive forward as a replacement for Matt Rempe (upper body), who is out with a long-term injury and may eventually land on injured reserve. Dowling had seven points in 52 regular-season games with the Devils last year.

Rangers' Justin Dowling: Placed on waivers Monday
Dowling (lower body) was designated for waivers by the Rangers on Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
Dowling's pending shift to the minors, assuming he clears waivers, indicates that his lower-body injury is behind him. Despite playing in 52 regular-season games for the Devils last year, the 34-year-old center will likely spend the majority of the upcoming campaign in the minors but figures to be on the shortlist of call-ups should the team need a forward.

Rangers' Justin Dowling: Remains unavailable again Monday
Dowling (lower body) will not be available to face the Islanders on Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.
Dowling was working with the non-game group, so it's possible that he will be ready in time to face the Devils on Thursday. Given the Rangers' forward depth, Dowling figures to be a long shot to make the Opening Night roster and likely will have to play the bulk of his games in the minors with AHL Hartford.

Rangers' Justin Dowling: Ruled out for Thursday
Dowling (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Islanders, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Dowling was held out of practice Wednesday due to his injury, and he'll be unavailable for the team's preseason game a day later. However, he skated on his own Thursday, signaling that he may be able to return to game action relatively soon. His next opportunity to suit up during the preseason will be Monday against the Islanders.

Rangers' Justin Dowling: Not practicing Wednesday
Dowling will not take part in Wednesday's training camp session due to a lower-body injury, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.
Dowling played in 52 regular-season games for the Devils last year, and he garnered two goals, five helpers and 51 hits while averaging 10:13 of ice time. Even with his injury absence, the veteran center should be capable of making the Opening Night roster as a bottom-six player. While Dowling can add some physicality to the lineup, he doesn't offer enough in any one category to make him more than a low-end fantasy target.

Rangers' Justin Dowling: Secures two-year contract
Dowling signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
Dowling contributed two goals, five assists, 34 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 51 hits in 52 regular-season appearances with New Jersey in 2024-25. He will battle for a depth spot on the Rangers during training camp.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Slings assist in win
Dowling notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Dowling played in a fourth straight game Saturday, and he was able to snap his 10-game point drought. During the skid, he was also scratched 10 times. Dowling has been in the lineup as a bottom-six center, but his playing time is likely to decrease once Cody Glass (undisclosed) is ready to return. Dowling is at six points -- matching his career high -- while adding 31 shots on net, 45 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 47 appearances.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Handling part-time role
Dowling was out of the lineup for the third time in five games in March for Sunday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.
Dowling is in a part-time role even with the Devils missing center Jack Hughes (shoulder) for the rest of the campaign. The 34-year-old Dowling won't pile up points, and he's currently in a seven-game point drought, which may explain his turn in the press box. The Devils also added Cody Glass and Daniel Sprong for forward depth at the trade deadline, making competition a little more fierce for bottom-six spots. Dowling has five points, 25 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-3 rating over 43 appearances this season.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Posts helper Sunday
Dowling registered an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
Dowling ended a three-game point drought with the helper. He has five points, 20 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-1 rating over 36 appearances this season. Erik Haula (ankle) is nearing a return to the lineup, but Dowling seems likely to remain in a bottom-six role at least as long as Nico Hischier (upper body) is out.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Snags assist in win
Dowling notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
Dowling had not gotten on the scoresheet in his last 16 games. The 34-year-old has filled in as a depth center at various times in 2024-25, earning four points, 20 shots on net, 23 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 32 appearances. He'll likely remain in the lineup as long as Erik Haula (ankle) is unavailable, but Dowling doesn't add enough to help in most fantasy formats.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Healthy scratch Saturday
Dowling (illness) was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia, per James Nichols of New Jersey Hockey Now.
Dowling wasn't on the ice for Saturday's pregame warmups, and a flu bug was going through the room, but his absence from the lineup wasn't illness-related. He has earned two goals, one assist, 17 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 22 hits in 30 NHL appearances this season.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Out Saturday
Dowling (illness) will not play Saturday against the Flyers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Dowling will be sidelined Saturday after appearing in the Devils' previous five contests. The 34-year-old forward has two goals and three points in 30 games this season. Brian Halonen figures to enter the lineup in Dowling's absence.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Recalled Thursday
Dowling was called up by the Devils on Thursday.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Waived for AHL demotion

Devils' Justin Dowling: Tallies in Saturday's loss
Dowling scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Capitals.
Dowling has two goals over his last four games while playing limited minutes on the fourth line. He's topped 10 minutes of ice time in just three of his 15 appearances this season. The 34-year-old center has three points, 12 shots on net, 15 hits and a minus-2 rating. His playing time is too low to make much of an impact in fantasy.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Rare contribution on offense
Dowling scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Dowling still played a team-low 9:25, but he was able to provide an extra layer of security with his empty-netter. The goal was his first since Jan. 25. The 34-year-old has picked up two points, seven shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances in a fourth-line role this season.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Rejoining NHL club
Dowling was recalled from AHL Utica on Monday.
Dowling was loaned to the minor-league club Sunday, but he'll rejoin New Jersey a day later. Nathan Bastian (jaw) was placed on long-term injured reserve while Curtis Lazar (knee) landed on IR on Monday, so Dowling could continue to serve in a bottom-six role for the Devils. Over nine NHL appearances this year, he's logged an assist and 11 hits while averaging 8:13 of ice time.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Sent to AHL
Dowling was loaned to AHL Utica on Sunday.
Dowling has earned one assist, five shots on net and 11 hits through nine NHL appearances this season. He had been playing due to the extended absences of Curtis Lazar (knee) and Nathan Bastian (jaw), but New Jersey is off until Thursday versus Carolina. It won't be surprising if Dowling returns to a bottom-six role against the Hurricanes.

Devils' Justin Dowling: Grabs helper in season debut
Dowling posted an assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Canucks.
Dowling was called up from AHL Utica on Tuesday to replaced Curtis Lazar (lower body) in the lineup. Dowling likely got the call to enter the lineup because the Devils needed a center rather than moving Dawson Mercer off the wing to let Kurtis MacDermid into the lineup. The 34-year-old Dowling has a total of 20 points over 101 career NHL appearances, so he won't be a player fantasy managers need to keep a close eye on while he's up with the big club.
