Islanders' Noah Dobson: Regular jersey at practice

Dobson (lower body) is wearing a regular jersey at practice Saturday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Dobson has missed the last nine games, and since he is on long-term injured reserve, he will have to sit out Sunday's tilt against Dallas. The 25-year-old has regressed after a breakout 2023-24 campaign in which he had 10 goals and 60 assists in 79 regular-season appearances. Dobson has only six goals and 24 points through 46 outings in 2024-25. He could return as early as Tuesday versus the Rangers.
