Rotowire
Dowling was recalled from AHL Utica on Thursday.
The Devils were down to 12 healthy forwards as Michael McLeod (personal) is not with the team at this time. Dowling could see action Thursday versus Carolina as a fourth-line winger, but he's more likely to be New Jersey's extra forward. Dowling has eight goals and 19 points in 30 AHL games this year.

Canucks' Justin Dowling: Supplies helper Monday
Rotowire
Dowling recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Dowling has played in just three of the last seven games since he cleared the COVID-19 protocols. The 31-year-old had been held off the scoresheet in his previous 10 contests entering Monday. With four points, 17 shots on net, 10 hits and a minus-3 rating through 21 appearances, Dowling doesn't need to be tracked closely in fantasy. He's unlikely to see more than a bottom-six role when he enters the lineup.

Canucks' Justin Dowling: Garners helper Friday
Rotowire
Dowling recorded an assist, two hits and two PIM in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Dowling hadn't played in the last six games, but with the Canucks struggling, he replaced Juno Lammikko on the fourth line Friday. Dowling found Vasili Podkolzin for a first-period tally, with the former earning his third point in 10 appearances. The 31-year-old Dowling shouldn't be considered a lock for the lineup, and with just 11 shots on net, six hits and a minus-2 rating, he's essentially a non-factor in fantasy.

Canucks' Justin Dowling: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Dowling was designated for injured reserve Tuesday with an undisclosed injury.
Dowling's absence from Monday's practice session was originally classified as a maintenance day, but now it seems as though the center is dealing with a more significant issue.

Rotowire
Dowling scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
The Canucks only led for 4:02 of Saturday's contest, but Dowling made sure it would stick with an empty-netter. The 31-year-old has two goals and nine shots on net in six games to start his Canucks career. He's unlikely to see more than a bottom-six role given the Canucks' strong forward depth.

Canucks' Justin Dowling: Scores first as Canuck
Rotowire
Dowling notched his first goal as a Canuck during Tuesday's loss to the Sabres.
Dowling had a couple of good scoring opportunities and was able to put one in the back of the net. He isn't expected to be a reliable source of offense though, especially now that he's been bumped off the second power-play unit. Dowling had four shots on goal and three blocks in 14:22 of ice time Tuesday, as well.

Canucks' Justin Dowling: Links up with Vancouver
Rotowire
Dowling put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the Canucks averaging $750,000 in value.
Dowling split his time between levels last season, appearing in 27 games for the Stars and amassing five points and 27 shots on goal to go along with a minus-four rating. He will likely need to prove he's worthy of an Opening Night roster spot in training camp and shouldn't be much of a factor from a fantasy perspective.
