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 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 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.
