The 25-year-old, who sustained a lower-body injury in their 3-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jan. 20, missed the final nine games before the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off. He was a full participant, skating alongside Adam Boqvist as the club's extra defense pairing: Dobson did quarterback the second power-play unit, with Tony DeAngelo at the point on the first unit. While Dobson has clearly taken strides, he is currently on long-term injured reserve and has to miss one more game to reach the mandatory 10-game absence.
