NOAH DOBSON NEWS

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.

Impact Dobson registered his sixth goal of the campaign at even strength when he ripped a slap shot from the point past Alexander Georgiev just over a minute into the final stanza. This was Dobson's first marker since Dec. 21 against Toronto. The right-shot blueliner should be able to match his goal total (10) from last season, but he's going 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Goals in back-to-back games Dobson netted an even-strength goal on eight shots and added one block, three hits and one takeaway to go along with a team-high 24:26 of ice time.

Impact 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 these players will more than likely serve on the No. 1 power-play unit when healthy. Dobson is leading New York's blueliners in scoring with four goals and 18 points through 32 appearances.

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

Impact 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 PP points he racked up in 2023-24.

Point streak reaches four games Dobson recorded two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Dobson participated in the build-up of the Isles' two power-play goals Sunday, scored by Anders Lee and Kyle Palmieri, in the first and third periods, respectively. Dobson has cracked the scoresheet in a season-high four straight games, with one goal and four helpers in that span. This was his third game with multiple assists on the season.

Buries goal in loss Dobson scored a goal on five shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Dobson has a goal and three points over his last six outings. He's starting to find steadier offense after enduring a seven-game slump from Oct. 30-Nov. 12. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, 12 points, 79 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-9 rating through 27 appearances. The Islanders' lack of offense as a team has made it unlikely for Dobson to repeat his 70-point regular season from 2023-24.

Slides assist in loss Dobson had an assist, three shots on net and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Montreal.

Impact Dobson prevented a clearing attempt and got the puck to the Anders Lee, who was left alone in front of the Montreal net for the Islanders' lone goal. It was the third helper in the last five outings for Dobson, who is well behind last season's scoring pace. After posting 70 points in 2023-24, he has just 11 through 26 outings this season.

Impact This was Dobson's 200th career point, a mark he reached his 339th game. The 24-year-old defenseman hasn't been as good as usual in 2024-25 -- he has just three points over his last six contests and a total of one goal and nine helpers through 22 outings overall. He's added 64 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 22 appearances in his top-pairing role.

Puts away empty-netter Dobson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Dobson ended a seven-game slump with the empty-netter, which was his first goal of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman has at least 10 goals in each of the last three campaigns, but it's been a disappointing start to 2024-25 for him. 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.

Nabs power-play helper 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
