Registers assist Dillon notched an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Dillon has a helper in each of the last two games, giving him four assists through 12 games this season.

The 33-year-old blueliner has logged just six shots on net while adding 29 hits, 27 blocks, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating. His physical play is consistent, but offense will be hard to come by if he slips down the lineup.
