Dobson logged a power-play assist, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils. Dobson set up an Anders Lee tally late in the first period. Through seven contests, Dobson has earned five assists, including three on the power play, offering steady offense as the Islanders' top blueliner. The 24-year-old has added 23 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating. He plays in a large role, which makes him a set-and-forget option for fantasy managers.

Dobson collected two assists, one on the power play, and added a game-high seven shots, two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens. While the 24-year-old blueliner made a big impact in regulation, Dobson wound up being the hero in the shootout when he fired a shot past Cayden Primeau in the ninth round. Dobson is still looking for his first goal of 2024-25, but it's not for lack of trying -- he's put 13 shots on net in the last two games -- and he's pocketed four assists in five contests.

Dobson recorded two assists in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss versus Utah. Dobson had the primary helper on Anthony Duclair's first-period power-play tally before adding a secondary assist on Bo Horvat's even-strength goal in the third period. Dobson didn't fire any shots on goal, but he had three blocks in 24:51 of ice time, the most of any New York skater. The right-shot blueliner is coming off a career-best 70-point season in 2023-24. That number will be difficult to surpass, but the opportunity is there with Dobson manning the Islanders' top power-play unit.

Dobson (upper body) is expected to be available for Saturday's Game 1 versus the Hurricanes, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Dobson missed the last three games of the regular season due to an upper-body injury, but he should slot into his usual featured role skating on the top pairing and first power-play unit for Game 1. He racked up a career-high 70 points through 79 contests during the 2023-24 campaign.

Dobson (upper body) will miss Wednesday's tilt versus Pittsburgh, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com. It will be Dobson's third straight contest on the shelf. Given this is the Islanders' season finale, he'll finish the regular season with 10 goals, 70 points, 36 PIM, 84 hits and 180 blocks in 79 outings. It remains to be seen if Dobson will be available for Game 1 of the playoffs, but if he does feature in that clash, it will likely be as a member of the top pairing.
