Dobson scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson has been excellent in December with four goals and five assists over nine contests. The 24-year-old had a slow start to the campaign, so it's good to see him play at a level similar to last year. He's now at five goals, 19 points, 100 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 33 hits and a minus-6 rating through 34 appearances.

Dobson netted an even-strength goal on eight shots and added one block, three hits and one takeaway to go along with a team-high 24:26 of ice time in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson has now scored in two straight games, and he's picked up the pace in December with three goals and eight points through seven contests. The right-shot blueliner logged 10 points (one goal) through the first 25 games of the campaign, so he seems to have settled in after a shaky start to 2024-25. Dobson's production could increase even more in the near future as Mathew Barzal (upper body) returned from a 21-game absence Sunday, and Anthony Duclair (lower body) is nearing a return. All three of those players will more than likely serve on the No. 1 power-play unit when healthy. Dobson is leading New York's blueliners in scoring with four goals and 18 points through 32 appearances.

Dobson picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old blueliner continues to put a sluggish start to the season behind him. Dobson has collected two goals and nine points over the last 10 games, and that surge has come without the benefit of much power-play production -- he has just two helpers with the man advantage over that stretch. He has only six power-play points -- all assists -- through 31 contests this season, a far cry from the 24 power-play points he racked up in 2023-24.

Dobson recorded two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson participated in the build-up of the Islanders' two power-play goals Sunday, scored by Anders Lee and Kyle Palmieri, in the first and third periods, respectively. Dobson has cracked the scoresheet in a season-high four straight games, with one goal and four helpers in that span. This was his third game with multiple assists on the season.

Dobson scored a goal on five shots, added two PIM, logged two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson has a goal and three points over his last six outings. He's starting to find steadier offense after enduring a seven-game slump from Oct. 30-Nov. 12. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, 12 points, 79 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-9 rating through 27 appearances. The Islanders' lack of offense as a team has made it unlikely for Dobson to repeat his 70-point regular season from 2023-24.

Dobson had an assist, three shots on net and two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson prevented a clearing attempt and got the puck to the Anders Lee, who was left alone in front of the Montreal net for the Islanders' lone goal. It was his third helper over his last five outings for Dobson, who is well behind last season's scoring pace. After posting 70 points in 2023-24, he has just 11 through 26 outings this season.

Dobson recorded an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

This was Dobson's 200th career point, a mark he reached in his 339th game. The 24-year-old defenseman hasn't been as good as usual in 2024-25 -- he has just three points over his last six contests and a total of one goal and nine helpers through 22 outings overall. He's added 64 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 22 appearances in his top-pairing role.

Dobson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson ended a seven-game slump with the empty-netter, which was his first goal of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman has at least 10 goals in each of the last three campaigns, but it's been a disappointing start to 2024-25 for him. He's at seven points, 53 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances, well short of the pace that saw him rack up 70 points in 79 regular-season contests last year.

Dobson logged a power-play assist, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson set up an Anders Lee tally late in the first period. Through seven contests, Dobson has earned five assists, including three on the power play, offering steady offense as the Islanders' top blueliner. The 24-year-old has added 23 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-1 rating. He plays in a large role, which makes him a set-and-forget option for fantasy managers.

Dobson collected two assists, one on the power play, and added a game-high seven shots, two blocked shots, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

While the 24-year-old blueliner made a big impact in regulation, Dobson wound up being the hero in the shootout when he fired a shot past Cayden Primeau in the ninth round. Dobson is still looking for his first goal of 2024-25, but it's not for lack of trying -- he's put 13 shots on net in the last two games -- and he's pocketed four assists in five contests.
