Dobson has not played since January 20th, missing 11 consecutive games due to a lower-body injury, but will likely draw back into the Islanders' lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. The 25-year-old Dobson has 24 points (6G / 18A) in 46 games this season and will likely reclaim his role on the top powerplay unit, a spot temporarily occupied by Tony DeAngelo.

Dobson exited Monday's 3-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets after 15:38 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. The talented 25-year-old defenseman will be sidelined week-to-week but fortunately will not require surgery to address the injury. The Islanders's offense, which ranks third-worst in the league with only 124 goals through 46 games, will greatly miss the services of Dobson's 24 points (6G / 18A) from the blue line. The Islanders signed Tony DeAngelo on Friday as a potential replacement on the top powerplay unit.
