Dillon registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Since the start of December, Dillon has collected three helpers, 20 PIM, 50 hits and 22 blocked shots over 21 appearances. The 35-year-old is part of a crowded blue line, and that has limited him to the third pairing, where he can provide physicality but little offense. The defenseman has a total of 12 points, 34 shots on net, 115 hits, 64 blocked shots and 37 PIM across 46 contests this season, while his 17:53 average ice time is the lowest it's been since 2018-19.

Dillon (undisclosed) is slated to play against Dallas on Wednesday, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon missed the third period of Monday's 5-3 loss to Columbus for precautionary reasons, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the issue. He has three goals, nine points, 24 PIM, 65 hits and 42 blocks in 26 outings this year.

Dillon didn't play during the third period of Monday's matchup with Columbus for precautionary reasons, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon was injured following a fight with Blue Jackets' Dmitri Voronkov and did initially return to the game before being held out in the third. The 35-year-old Dillon has managed just one goal in his last 19 contests, but did chip in four helpers, 48 hits and 29 blocks. If Dillon suits up against the Stars on Wednesday, he could provide decent category coverage given his ancillary stats.

Dillon scored a goal, tallied an assist, fired two shots on goal and had two hits in Friday's 5-0 shutout win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon lit the lamp less than two minutes into the third period before assisting Paul Cotter's goal minutes later. With the pair of points, Dillon has three goals, six assists, 20 shots on goal, 63 hits and 42 blocks through 24 games this season. The 15-year NHL veteran has provided high-level category coverage to start the season and is on pace for his eighth regular season with 100-plus blocks and 100-plus hits. Dillon's all-around showing through the first quarter of the season makes him a solid fantasy option from the blue line in deep leagues.

Dillon (undisclosed) is expected to play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon missed Monday's practice, but he won't miss game action due to an undisclosed issue. He has accounted for two goals, seven points, 13 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and 49 hits across 18 appearances this season.

Dillon (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Tuesday in Tampa Bay, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Dillon was injured, as he saw his usual allotment of ice time Saturday against the Capitals. The veteran defenseman will be on the ice for warmups Tuesday, and then a decision on his status will be made from there. Dougie Hamilton (lower body) will also be a game-time call against the Lightning, so the Devils have a lot up in the air on their blue line at the moment.

Dillon scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon found the back of the net for a second straight game, as he also bagged a goal in the 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. This time, the defenseman doubled New Jersey's lead with a slap shot at the 6:08 mark of the second period. Although Dillon is playing as part of the third defensive pairing, he's making his presence felt on offense with four points (two goals, two assists) over his last five games.

Dillon scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon has stepped up on offense lately, earning all three of his points this season over the last four games. The 34-year-old's tally at 4:54 of the second period Tuesday ended up being the game-winner as well. In addition to a surprising amount of offense, Dillon has added five shots on net, 16 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating. In the long run, he'll settle in as a shutdown defenseman in a bottom-four role, and he'll offer more in the way of physicality than scoring by the end of the campaign.

Dillon registered and assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon picked up his first point in three games when he helped out on Dawson Mercer's empty-netter. The 34-year-old Dillon is a stalwart on the third pairing and already has nine hits and seven blocked shots this season. He offers little scoring upside but should remain a steady presence in the physical categories -- he has at least 190 hits and 100 blocks in each of the last four seasons.

Dillon (neck) participated in Thursday's practice session, indicating that he appears to be healthy ahead of the 2025-26 season, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dillon dealt with a neck injury during last year's playoffs that forced him to miss the final four games of the Devils' first-round series, but he appears to have moved past the issue during the offseason. The 34-year-old appeared in all 82 regular-season games last year and logged two goals, 14 assists, 191 hits, 108 blocked shots and 67 PIM while averaging 18:35 of ice time.
