Noah Dobson Rejoins Canadiens Lineup Saturday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Noah Dobson (groin) is set to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. Dobson was hurt in an exhibition game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sept. 25 but has recovered from a groin injury in time to feature in Montreal's preseason finale. He is projected to skate with Jayden Struble. Dobson's recent seasons have been inconsistent, but a new beginning in Montreal might reinvigorate the 25-year-old rearguard. Just two seasons ago, Dobson scored a massive 70 points (10 goals, 60 assists) in 79 games. While it's unlikely he'll reach the same heights again, if he stays healthy, Dobson should be able to notch 50-plus points in 2025-26.

Noah Dobson Day-to-Day With Groin Injury

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Noah Dobson (groin) is considered day-to-day. The Canadiens appear to have dodged a bullet after Dobson was injured in Thursday's preseason game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. This was Dobson's second appearance with Montreal since joining from the New York Islanders in the summer. He might be done for the rest of the preseason, but the day-to-day status suggests Dobson isn't at risk of missing the start of the regular season. The 25-year-old is expected to play a crucial role in the Canadiens defense and will aim to rebound after a disappointing 2024-25 season, where Dobson went from a 70-point scorer to a 39-point player.

Noah Dobson Traded to Montreal

The Montreal Canadiens have acquired defenseman Noah Dobson in a trade with the New York Islanders. The team parted ways with forward Emil Heineman and a pair of first-round picks in the transaction. It was a sign-and-trade deal for Dobson, who agreed to an eight-year, $76 million contract before the trade. Dobson proved to be too expensive to keep for the Islanders, who selected him 12th overall in the 2018 NHL draft. The right-shot blue-liner recorded 230 points (50 goals, 180 assists) in 388 games with the Islanders, including 70 points (10 goals, 60 assists) in 2023-24. This season, Dobson struggled to reach the same heights as before, settling for only 39 points (10 goals, 29 assists) in 71 games. He will aim to bounce back in 2025-26 on an exciting Canadiens blue line that features 2025 Calder Memorial Trophy winner Lane Hutson.

Noah Dobson Picks Up Two Points Against Wild

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson registered two points as the team stopped a six-game skid with a 3-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night. Dobson helped Casey Cizikas to tie the game at one early in the second period and popped up with a power-play goal in the third. The 25-year-old now boasts five multi-point efforts since the start of last month. He has found a way to replicate some of the form he showcased last year during his 70-point campaign. This season, Dobson has recorded 37 points (nine goals, 28 assists) in 64 games. Additionally, he has tallied 111 blocks and 55 hits.

Noah Dobson Expected To Return On Thursday

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) is poised to return to action on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. He has sat out 11 games due to a lower-body injury. Dobson is a two-way force for the Islanders at the back, having registered 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 46 games while blocking 81 shots and handing out 42 hits. Scott Perunovich, who went an ugly minus-four in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers, is expected to come out of the lineup to make room for Dobson.

Noah Dobson Not Ready To Return On Tuesday

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's clash against the New York Rangers. He has been out for 10 games with a lower-body injury. Last week, Dobson returned to practice in full capacity, but he will sit out at least one more contest. Dobson has taken a step back in 2024-25, posting 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 46 games. Alexander Romanov has carried a massive load during Dobson's absence, though the Islanders' backline recently received help with Ryan Pulock's return. Scott Mayfield has also come back from injury but is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.

Noah Dobson Heads To Injured Reserve

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) has been placed on IR due to an injury suffered on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Dobson will be sidelined week-to-week, but his injury will not require surgery. The Islanders already have trouble scoring goals, so missing their powerplay quarterback and top offensive defenseman will hurt them all the more. In his absence, Ryan Pulock took over powerplay duties, but recently signed Tony DeAngelo could supplant Pulock once he gets more familiar with the team.

Noah Dobson Considered Week-To-Week

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) is week-to-week. The team has announced that Dobson will not require surgery to fix a lower-body injury he sustained on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, the squad will still need to spend a stretch without him. Dobson has tallied 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 46 games this season while averaging nearly two blocks per game. Scott Mayfield is set to replace Dobson as Alexander Romanov's partner in defense, with Dennis Cholowski grabbing his spot on the first power-play unit.

Noah Dobson Exits Early On Monday

According to Andrew Gross of Newsday, New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (undisclosed) exited early during Monday's victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Gross noted that head coach Patrick Roy did not provide an update on his status following the game. Dobson exited during the third period after sustaining a hit. Before exiting, the 25-year-old tallied a primary assist and logged two shots on goal and four hits. This point extended his scoring streak to three games. Over his previous nine contests, Dobson has tallied five points (one goal, four helpers) with 13 blocks, eight hits, and 3.4 shots per goal per game. If Dobson were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Ryan Pulock to take his spot on the top power-play unit and for Dennis Cholowski to draw into the starting lineup.

Noah Dobson Returning For Game 1

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (upper body) will be back for Game 1 of the postseason on Saturday to take on the Carolina Hurricanes. The blue-liner missed the final three regular-season games due to an upper-body injury. "When you leave a game and miss the three games to finish the year, you obviously had some concern with the playoffs coming," Dobson said. "But I've just tried to focus on doing whatever I can to get myself ready. It's been a day-to-day thing, just one day at a time, and I'm just happy to be feeling a little better here." The young defenseman had a big season, notching 10 goals and 70 points across 79 games as part of a team-high 24:31 of ice time per game.

Noah Dobson Sustains An Upper-Body Injury

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson is under evaluation for an upper-body injury. He was hurt early into Thursday's encounter with Montreal, exiting the action after logging only 1:28 of ice time. Losing Dobson for an extended period would be an awful blow for the playoff-chasing Islanders. He's had a huge career year with 70 points (10 goals, 60 assists) in 79 appearances, sitting just outside the top six in defensemen scoring. Dobson is also the team leader with 180 blocks and has recorded 84 hits. Ryan Pulock and Sebastian Aho will get heavier workloads over the final three regular-season games if Dobson is out of the lineup.

Noah Dobson Makes History With Three-Assist Effort

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson had three assists in Sunday's 6-5 overtime defeat against the Rangers in a Stadium Series game. He became the third player and first defenseman to register three assists in an NHL outdoor game. Dobson had one power-play helper and two assists in even-strength situations. With the effort, Dobson reached 51 assists for the season, and he's now sitting on 58 points with 54 games played -- Denis Potvin is the only blue-liner in franchise history to have hit the 50-assist mark quicker in a season, having done it with 53 games in 1978-79.

Noah Dobson Shines With Three Assists

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson kept his fantastic campaign going with a three-assist effort in a sweet 4-3 overtime victory against Toronto on Monday. Despite Dobson's efforts, the Islanders were taken to overtime with a late Morgan Rielly goal, but the talented blue-liner still had something left in his sleeve, as Dobson completed his hat trick of helpers on a Bo Horvat strike in the extra frame. Dobson has surprisingly been one of the most prolific defensemen in the league this season, with a five-goal, 22-assist effort in 27 outings. He's done especially well in recent weeks, posting 11 points over a seven-game stretch.

Noah Dobson Grabs Three Assists In Thursday's Win

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson helped to set up three goals as the team defeated Carolina 5-4 in overtime on Thursday. Dobson's playmaking came in key moments as well, as he had a hand in all of the team's final three goals, including Mathew Barzal's overtime winner. The 23-year-old has taken a giant leap in his offensive game this season, averaging close to a point per game after being around the 0.60-point mark in the past two seasons. Dobson boasts 21 points (five goals, 16 assists) in 22 appearances.

Noah Dobson A Game-Time Call On Monday

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) is considered a game-time call for Monday's clash with Philadelphia. He has missed four games with a lower-body injury, but the All-Star break has given Dobson some good recovery time and it appears likely that he will make his return on Monday. Dobson is expected to join Sebastian Aho on the third defensive pairing and skate on the first power-play unit. The 23-year-old hasn't quite hit his last year's standards in 2022-23, but it has been a decent campaign for Dobson with 10 goals and 27 points in 48 games. Forward Hudson Fasching (lower body) is also a game-time call Monday.

Noah Dobson Out Through The All-Star Break

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (lower body) will miss at least two more games, with the team having ruled him out until the All-Star break. He will be absent for a third consecutive game Friday versus Detroit. Dobson has been a slight disappointment this season, but he has still gotten into double figures in goals and is the team's leading scorer from the blue line with 27 points in 48 games. The 23-year-old has also tallied 137 shots on goal, 40 hits and 76 blocks with a minus-five rating. Dobson's absence has given Samuel Bolduc an opportunity to skate in his first two NHL games.

Noah Dobson A Game-Time Call Monday

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Monday's contest against Toronto. He suffered an unspecified injury in the last game and is in danger of missing his first game of the season. Dobson is in the midst of a good all-around season, boasting 10 goals and 27 points in 48 games with 40 hits and 76 shots. He averages 21:04 of ice time per game and is a big part of the power play, so Dobson's absence would be a major blow for the Islanders, who have already had a very difficult time lately with nine losses in 10 games.

Noah Dobson Gets Goal No. 10

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson struck his 10th goal of the season in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Coyotes, becoming the third blue-liner in the league this season with double figures in goals and assists. He is also now only the third defenseman in franchise history to get to the 10-goal mark in 31 games or fewer in a season. Dobson has added 11 assists in 31 games with 93 shots, 23 hits and 45 blocks. It's been a very productive year for the 22-year-old, who is well on his way to having a second consecutive 50-point season.

Noah Dobson Bags Two Points Versus Ottawa

New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson notched two points Monday as the team took down Ottawa 4-2. He scored his fifth goal of the season in the second period to put the Islanders 2-1 up and grabbed an assist as Jean-Gabriel Pageau logged the eventual game-winning goal on the power play in the third. Among blue-liners, Dobson's goal tally is better by only Erik Karlsson (10) and Rasmus Dahlin (7) this season. He has developed into a really solid fantasy piece who contributes well at both ends of the ice. The 22-year-old boasts 12 points through 17 games but also has 28 blocks and 12 hits to his name with a plus-one rating.

Islanders Lock Up Noah Dobson For Three Years

Restricted free-agent defenseman Noah Dobson agreed to a three-year, $12 million contract with the New York Islanders, with an annual average value of $4 million. The 22-year-old will stay put on Long Island, where he had a breakout season in 2021-22, posting 13 goals and 38 assists in 80 games. Dobson was deployed on the power play 64% of the time, and he made the most of it with 22 power-play points. If Dobson holds that role, he should once again be quite valuable from the back end in fantasy. The Islanders also have a new coach in Lane Lambert, who may bring an offensive spark to the team after years of defensive play behind Barry Trotz. If that is the case, Dobson could be primed for a stellar season, at least in the points department.
