New York Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson is out indefinitely due to a right-leg injury sustained during a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The injury occurred when he was cross-checked, causing a concerning bend in his leg. Although Dobson left the ice on his own, his long-term availability is uncertain. This loss is substantial for the Islanders, who are struggling in the Metropolitan Division and are three points behind the Penguins for playoff contention, even after recent victories.
Noah Dobson is out indefinitely after suffering a right-leg injury during Monday night's 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets at UBS Arena.
While falling backward, his leg bent awkwardly, which immediately raised concerns about his long-term availability despite him skating off the ice under his own power.
Losing Dobson is a significant blow for a team that is struggling to keep up with the rest of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Despite winning two straight games, the Islanders are rooted to the bottom spot of the division, three points back of the seventh-place Pittsburgh Penguins.
