Dowd missed the Capitals' previous game due to a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision Monday vs. Detroit. The 32-year-old has five goals, five assists, 18 PIMs and is a +4 plus/minus through 32 games prior to the injury.

Lindgren stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) for his sixth win in seven starts as he defeated Toronto his previous time out. The 29-year-old has been incredibly solid as a fill in for Darcy Kuemper, with a 8-4-2 record, 2.70 GAA and .913 SV%. He will take on the Detroit Red Wings, who are in the middle of a five game losing skid after a loss to Ottawa in their last game.

Dowd was scratched ahead of Saturday's game vs. Toronto and is listed day-to-day. Consider Dowd questionable to play Monday vs. the Red Wings--expect Nicolas Aube-Kubel to remain in the lineup if Dowd can't play.
