Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Tallies opening goal in win

Dobson scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Dobson ended a four-game point drought with a goal just 2:59 into this contest. Before the slump, he had a stretch of three goals and six helpers over six outings. The defenseman is at eight goals, 28 points, 86 shots on net, 109 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 44 appearances in 2025-26. While he won't come anywhere near his 70-point campaign from 2023-24, Dobson should challenge for the 50-point mark this season.
