Dobson has picked up two assists in his last three games.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson has three goals on the season and 11 helpers to go along with a plus-1 rating in 44 games. He's been paired with Andy Greene for the vast majority of the campaign with Greene serving as his mentor. More was expected offensively from Dobson this year, but the future is still bright for the 2018 first-round pick.

Dobson hasn't recorded a point since returning from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol on April 1.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson missed eight games in March due to being placed in the COVID protocol and now hasn't scored in seven straight since coming out of it. On the season, Dobson has three goals and nine assists in 35 games, so it wasn't like he was a regular on the scoresheet anyway.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson has now missed four games due to being placed in the protocol. If Dobson were to finally clear the protocol, he could play Monday in Philadelphia, but if not, his next chance to play will be in Boston on Thursday. In his absence, the Islanders have used both Sebastian Aho and Thomas Hickey, but Dobson will be paired with Greene as soon as he is healthy enough to do so.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

There was some hope that with Jean-Gabriel Pageau removed from the list Monday that Dobson would follow, but that didn't happen. Sunday was the first game this season in which the Islanders didn't have their top six defenders in the lineup. If Dobson doesn't clear the protocol Tuesday, then his next chance to play will be Thursday versus Philadelphia.
