Islanders' Noah Dobson: Puts away empty-netter

He's at seven points, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances, well short of the pace that saw him rack up 70 points in 79 regular-season contests last year.

Islanders' Noah Dobson: Two apples in loss
Noah 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 New York Islanders' top power-play unit.
