New York Islanders star defenseman Noah Dobson exited Thursday night’s game against the Montreal Canadiens due to an undisclosed injury and has yet to return.
With no clear incident suggesting an injury was sustained, Dobson exited the game just 5:33 into the first period after checking Canadiens winger Cole Caufield in the corner of the Islanders’ zone. He did not return for the start of the second period. Head coach Patrick Roy was forced to blend his defensive pairings together as Dobson’s usual partner, Alex Romanov, took shifts with both Sebastian Aho and Ryan Pulock.
Losing Dobson for any sort of time would be an immeasurable blow to the Islanders. The 24-year-old is their most talented blueliner, continuing his ascent to stardom this season. Through, he had 10 goals and 60 assists, joining the legendary Denis Potvin as the only other Islanders defenseman to record 60 or more assists in a single season.
Following Thursday night’s game against the Canadiens, the Islanders have just three regular-season games remaining as they attempt to clinch the No. 3 spot in the Metropolitan Division and with it, a postseason berth.Pantorno is the executive sports editor of amNewYork — a position he has held since January 2020.
