Islanders' Noah Dobson: Excelling on power play
Rotowire
Dobson is tied for the team lead in power-play goals with five and is second on the team in power-play points with 17.
Dobson has had another solid season offensively for the team with 12 goals and 25 assists in 62 games. While he excels on the power play, his even-strength numbers leave something to be desired, as he has only 20 points when the team isn't up a man.

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