EDGE Analysis

Dobson continues to show no hesitancy to shoot the puck -- he's topped five shots in four of his last six outings. The offense hasn't followed in January, as he's picked up only four points in 10 contests. The 22-year-old has still already set career highs with six goals, 16 points and six power-play points through 35 appearances. He's added 88 shots on net, 74 blocks and a plus-2 rating despite the Islanders' struggles as a team this season.

Dobson leads team defensemen in goals, assists and points.

EDGE Analysis

When he was drafted, Dobson was touted as an offensive defenseman, but with Barry Trotz as the coach, defense comes first. Dobson is becoming the player the Islanders had hoped for, and there should be room for improvement as he continues to develop.

Dobson scored the game-winning goal in overtime Saturday and added an assist in a 3-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

He took a pass at center ice, broke in untouched and wired a great wrister past Mikko Koskinen at the 3:52 mark in OT. His assist came on the power play in the first. Dobson's game is developing slowly and impressively. He's one point shy of his career mark of 14 points (46 games) in just 26 contests. He's riding a three-game, five-point scoring streak and has points in eight of his last 10 games (five goals, five assists). Dobson will be a sneaky play in 2022.

Dobson recorded a goal, an assist, two shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson has developed into a consistent source of offense on the Isalnders' blue line, even though this was his first multi-point outing of the season. He helped Mathew Barzal open the scoring in the first before putting the game out of reach with his fourth goal of the season in the third. All four of Dobson's goals have come in the past eight games, and he's added three assists over that span as well.

Dobson has three goals and three assists in his last eight games.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson is likely the Islanders' most gifted offensive defenseman, especially with Ryan Pulock (lower body) still on injured reserve and out of the lineup. The Islanders need offense from any place they can get it, but especially from the defense as the trades of Devon Toews (Avalanche) and Nick Leddy (Red Wings) over the past two seasons have depleted that skillset from that group of players. Dobson will try to keep the offense going when the Islanders next play versus Leddy and the Red Wings on Wednesday.

Dobson leads all of the defenders for the Islanders in goals, assists, points, and shots on goal.

EDGE Analysis

This season, Dobson has three goals, seven assists, 10 points, and 49 shots on goal in 24 games for the Isles. Dobson was touted as an offensive defenseman for the Isles when he was drafted, but that skill has taken some time to come out, especially with coach Barry Trotz insisting that the team play from its goaltender on out. The Islanders are searching for any offense they can find on defense, especially with Ryan Pulock (lower body) on injured reserve. The team may be allowing Dobson to freelance a little more than usual as they have struggled to score goals this season. Dobson will next get a chance to show his skills Monday in Buffalo.

Dobson scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis
