  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Extends point streak in defeat

    Dobson registered two assists, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary.

    Dobson logged a pair of secondary assists at even strength in this matchup. It marked his third consecutive multi-point effort -- prior to Saturday, he had only one such performance since the calendar flipped to January, though he missed 11 games due to a lower-body injury in that span. The right-shot blueliner is at eight goals, 26 helpers, 174 shots on net, 109 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 58 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Dishes two helpers

    Dobson provided two assists, tallied two shots on goal and blocked six shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

    Dobson played a large role in building the Islanders' lead by assisting their second and third goals of the game. The 25-year-old blueliner is up to 24 assists, 32 points, 171 shots on net and 108 blocks in 57 appearances this season. The Islanders' top defenseman is on a three-game point streak with two goals and three helpers in that stretch. While he won't reach the 70-point mark that he achieved a season ago, Dobson still has a chance to reach the 40-point threshold for the fourth time in his past four seasons. He's currently skating on the second defensive pairing and on the top power-play unit, which should give him a plethora of opportunities to contribute down the stretch in fantasy.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Three points in last two games

    Dobson had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over the Penguins on Tuesday.

    He tied the game 2-2 about five minutes into the third period on a backhand off a rebound. Dobson has three points, including two goals, in his last two games (eight shots). He's had a quiet season with just 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists) in 56 outings after exploding for 70 last year. Dobson may be a wise offseason target in dynasty. His manager may be frustrated and sell him off as a 50-point player. It's worth filing that away for inquiry later.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Scores in Sunday's win

    Dobson scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

    Dobson scored for the first time in nine games since coming back from a lower-body injury. He has just four points in that span, but he's taken multiple shots on goal in eight straight contests, so the chances are there. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to seven goals, 28 points, 165 shots on net, 98 blocked shots, 50 hits and a minus-5 rating through 55 appearances this season.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Earns two first-period assists

    Dobson notched two assists (one on the power play), two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Dobson had a hand in goals by Anthony Duclair and Jean-Gabriel Pageau to get the Islanders started on the right foot. With three helpers over his last two contests, Dobson looks to be settling back in after missing a month due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman is at 27 points (eight on the power play), 152 shots on net, 90 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 51 outings in 2024-25. He should continue to see plenty of playing time in all situations, including top-four minutes at even strength.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: First helper since return

    Dobson logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

    Dobson needed four games to get back on the scoresheet following his long-term lower-body injury. The defenseman has gone plus-3 with seven shots on net, five hits and eight blocked shots in that span. The 25-year-old is at 25 points, 150 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 47 hits and a minus-5 rating through 50 outings in 2024-25 -- between the injury and the drop in offense from last year's career-best 70-point campaign, he's burned many a fantasy manager. Dobson and Tony DeAngelo are set to continue competing for power-play minutes, though the Islanders still rank last in the NHL with just an 11.8 percent conversion rate with the man advantage.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Set to return Thursday

    Dobson (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup for Thursday's matchup with Boston, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Dobson looks set to return to the lineup for the first time since Jan. 20 against the Blue Jackets, a stretch of 11 games on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 25-year-old blueliner was riding a three-game point streak, so he'll undoubtedly be looking to pick up where he left off. Now that Dobson is back, Scott Perunovich will likely find himself relegated to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Nearing return

    Dobson (lower body) is closing in on a return to game action but will not be available for Tuesday's divisional matchup against the Rangers, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Dobson, who has been on long-term injured reserve since Jan. 26, wore a regular jersey at Saturday's practice, so he shouldn't be sidelined for much longer. The right-shot defenseman was injured Jan. 20 due to an awkward fall after being hit in a game against Columbus. Adam Boqvist will serve on the third pairing in Tuesday's game, while Scott Mayfield is projected to be a healthy scratch. Dobson's next chance to return to the lineup will be Thursday against Boston.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Regular jersey at practice

    Dobson (lower body) is wearing a regular jersey at practice Saturday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Dobson has missed the last nine games, and since he is on long-term injured reserve, he will have to sit out Sunday's tilt against Dallas. The 25-year-old has regressed after a breakout 2023-24 campaign in which he had 10 goals and 60 assists in 79 regular-season appearances. Dobson has only six goals and 24 points through 46 outings in 2024-25. He could return as early as Tuesday versus the Rangers.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Moves to LTIR

    Dobson (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, per PuckPedia.

    The Islanders utilized the cap space to add Tony DeAngelo to the active roster. Dobson is week-to-week and won't be eligible to play before the 4 Nations Face-Off after moving to the LTIR list. He has registered six goals, 24 points, 143 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and 42 hits in 46 appearances this season. DeAngelo played alongside Alexander Romanov and replaced Dobson on the top power-play combination in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Carolina.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Lands on injured reserve

    Dobson (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Friday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Dobson was riding a three-game point streak prior to getting hurt but will now have to wait at least a week before rejoining the lineup. Depending on his the blueliner's recovery progresses, it's possible he will be held out until after the 4 Nations Face-Off -- though the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline other than calling Dobson week-to-week.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Won't require surgery

    Dobson's lower-body injury will not require surgery, but he is still considered week-to-week, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Thursday.

    At this point, fantasy managers should probably be expecting Dobson to land on injured reserve in the coming days in order to free up a roster spot for a call-up from the minors -- especially considering Dobson's absence leaves the club without an extra healthy blueliner. Isaiah George could see a significant uptick in ice time as a result.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Could miss time

    Dobson does not have a timetable to return from his lower-body injury, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Dobson was injured Monday versus Columbus, as he fell in an awkward fashion in the final frame and did not return. The right-shot blueliner will likely be sidelined for the near future given the nature of how his injury looked. Dennis Cholowski will draw back into the lineup while Dobson is on the shelf.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Sustains injury Monday

    Dobson suffered an undisclosed injury in the third period of Monday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

    Dobson was injured on his first shift in the final frame as a result of an awkward fall after being hit by Columbus' Cole Sillinger. Dobson registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and four hits in 15:38 of ice time before departing. Head coach Patrick Roy had no update on the 25-year-old's status after the game, which puts him in the day-to-day category ahead of Friday's divisional matchup against the Flyers.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Snaps goal drought Saturday

    Dobson recorded a goal on three shots, two hits, one takeaway and one blocked shot in a team-high 24:30 of ice time Saturday in a 4-1 win over San Jose.

    Dobson registered his sixth goal of the campaign at even strength when he ripped a slap shot from the point past Alexandar Georgiev just over a minute into the final stanza. This was Dobson's first marker since Dec. 21 against Toronto. The right-shot blueliner could still surpass his 10 goals from last season, but he's on pace to fall well short of the 60 helpers he produced in 2023-24. Dobson's at six goals, 23 points, 16 PIM, 141 shots on goal, 38 hits, 81 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 45 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Snags helper Thursday

    Dobson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.

    The pairing of Dobson and Alexander Romanov was on the ice for the Islanders' last three goals. Dobson has been limited to just two assists over his last seven outings, but he's added 22 shots on net in that span despite being held without one Thursday. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 21 points, 122 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 35 hits and a minus-3 rating through 41 appearances. If the Islanders can get their power play going, Dobson will likely have a strong second half.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Moving up franchise assist list

    Dobson picked up an assist Tuesday in a 3-1 loss to Toronto.

    The assist was Dobson's 166th, which moved him into a tie with Jeff Norton for seventh on the franchise's all-time list for defensemen. Dobson has scuffled offensively for the Isles this season after putting up a massive 70-point campaign in 2023-24. This season, Dobson sits barely in the top-30 scorers from the blue line with 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) in 38 games. There have been signs of life in his game, though. Dobson had nine points, including four goals, in nine games to start December. He could be a great trade target -- fantasy managers may be tired of waiting for him to be the guy he showed he was last season.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Tallies in Saturday's win

    Dobson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

    Dobson has been excellent in December with four goals and five assists over nine contests. The 24-year-old had a slow start to the campaign, so it's good to see him play at a level similar to last year. He's now at five goals, 19 points, 100 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 33 hits and a minus-6 rating through 34 appearances.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Goals in back-to-back games

    Dobson netted an even-strength goal on eight shots and added one block, three hits and one takeaway in a team-high 24:26 of ice time in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Chicago.

    Dobson has now scored in two straight games, and he's picked up the pace in December with three goals and eight points through seven contests. The right-shot blueliner logged 10 points (one goal) through the first 25 games of the campaign, so he seems to have settled in after a shaky start to 2024-25. Dobson's production could increase even more in the near future as Mathew Barzal (upper body) returned from a 21-game absence Sunday, and Anthony Duclair (lower body) is nearing a return. All three of those players will likely serve on the No. 1 power-play unit when healthy. Dobson leads all Islanders defensemen in scoring with four goals and 18 points through 32 appearances.

  • Islanders' Noah Dobson: Two-point effort Thursday

    Dobson picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over Chicago.

    The 24-year-old blueliner continues to put a sluggish start to the season behind him. Dobson has collected two goals and nine points over the last 10 games, and that surge has come without the benefit of much power-play production -- he has just two helpers with the man advantage over that stretch. He has only six power-play points -- all assists -- through 31 contests this season, a far cry from the 24 power-play points he racked up in 2023-24.
