History
Dovgan was the center of some controversy when the Caps selected him with their seventh-round pick at the 2005 draft. Claiming that they had proof that his age made him eligible that year rather than the next, the Caps eventually won their case and added a player they believed would have been a surefire second-rounder in 2006.
The Caps signed him to a three-year entry-level deal in late 2006.
2006-07: During his first year of professional hockey, Dovgan skated in 56 games with South Carolina (ECHL). He tallied 11 points (5+6) and ranked fourth on the squad with 95 PIM. He tallied his first career goal in a 4-1 win at Augusta on Nov. 10. He skated in one game for Hershey (AHL) where he posted two PIM.
2007-08: Dovgan played 16 games for CSKA in the Russia Super League and recorded 10 PIM.
Talent Analysis
Dovgan is a tall, strong defender that is of the stay-at-home variety. Unlike most European players, Dovgan, a Russian native, likes and initiates physical contact. He is a fearsome competitor who can be counted on to give his best effort on every shift.
