Dobson has gone scoreless over his last five games.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson may be in a little bit of a slump, as he also has a rating of minus-5. On the season, Dobson has 10 goals, 14 assists, and a rating of minus-2. One could argue that he should be representing the team in the All-Star game and not Brock Nelson, but then again.

Dobson tallied an assist to go along with a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson's cross-ice pass set up Josh Bailey with an open net as the Islanders extended their lead to 3-1 in the second period.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson also had two hits and two blocks in 26:35 of ice time, which gives him 27 hits and 48 blocks in 33 contests this season. He also has 10 goals on 98 shots in 2022-23, which means Dobson's shooting at 10.2 percent, up from 6.8 percent in 2021-22 and his career average of 6.9 percent.

Dobson scored a goal on four shots, went plus-3 and added two hits in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Dobson's tally late in the second period tied the game at 3-3. He's notched three goals and two assists over his last five games, and he's the third blueliner in the league to reach the 10-goal mark this year, joining the Sharks' Erik Karlsson and the Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin. Fantasy managers will be a little disappointed that Dobson's added only 11 assists through 31 games, though his non-scoring numbers -- 93 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-2 rating -- are solid enough to make him a reliable option in the virtual game.
