The Vancouver Canucks acquired forward Nic Dowd from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenseman Jordan Subban late Thursday night.
Dowd, 27, has appeared in 16 games with the Kings this season, registering one assist. He ranked fourth on the team in faceoff-win percentage. Last season, his first full NHL season, he had six goals and 16 assists. Dowd was a seventh-round pick of the Kings in 2009.
