With Matthew Highmore returning from COVID protocols on Saturday, either he or Jason Dickinson — who was a healthy scratch in Wednesday’s loss to the Islanders — will likely slot into the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Dowling has recorded two goals and two assists through 22 games this season.

Should he clear waivers, Dowling will report to the Abbotsford Canucks.
