Dobson was scratched vs. the Rangers on Wednesday but is expected to be back in the lineup tonight. Dobson should play a massive role with Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech, Zdeno Chara and Andy Greene all out.
Dobson skated late with the scratches during Monday's morning skate, which signifies he could come out of the lineup for the first time this season. If Dobson does sit, Sebastian Aho would make his season debut. Dobson has no points, a minus-1 rating and 11 shots on goal in his last six games.
Dobson was held out of the lineup for the last two games but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Rangers. Dobson has been held pointless in his last nine games while averaging just 14:14 TOI/gm.
Dobson has been sidelined since March 13th but will be back in the lineup vs. the Capitals. Dobson has enjoyed a nice sophomore season, scoring three goals with nine assists (12 points) in 28 games. Expect Dobson to replace Thomas Hickey.
Dobson was a healthy scratch for the last three games but will play Thursday because Adam Pelech was a late scratch due to a lower-body issue. Dobson has just two assists in 11 games this season.
Dobson played in the last three games with Nick Leddy out with a lower-body injury but is expected to come out of the lineup vs. the Predators. Dobson failed to register a point in those three games, giving him just two assists in 10 games this season.
Dobson has been a healthy scratch for the last five games but will replace Nick Leddy, who is out with a lower-body injury. Dobson will skate with Johnny Boychuk and is expected to see some power-play time on a unit with Mathew Barzal and co.
Dobson was the No.12 overall pick in 2018 and is set to replace Johnny Boychuk on the third pairing on Tuesday. The 6-foot-4, 184 lbs. rookie defenseman had 15 goals and 37 assists (52 points) in 56 QMJHL games last season.
Dobson was picked No.12 overall in this summer’s draft but was always expected to head back to Juniors this year. The 18-year-old defenseman will try to build off of his 69-point (17G / 52A) sophomore season with Acadie-Bathurst.
Dobson is a two-way defenseman but has a polished offensive game, finishing tied for second among QMJHL defensemen in points (69) and third in goals (17). Playing in the Memorial Cup didn’t hurt his value either—he scored two goals with five assists in Acadie Bathursts’s four-game run.
