EDGE Analysis

Dobson was riding a three-game point streak prior to getting hurt but will now have to wait at least a week before rejoining the lineup. Depending on his the blueliner's recovery progresses, it's possible he will be held out until after the 4 Nations Face-Off -- though the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline other than calling Dobson week-to-week.
