A Healthy Noah Dobson Poised to Lead Islanders in Round 1

The New York Islanders announced Friday, April 19, that star defenseman Noah Dobson returned to practice after being listed as day-to-day. Dobson, who played just three shifts in the Islanders' April 11 win over the Montreal Canadiens, has played a crucial role for the team this season, and his return is a massive win for the defense. Dobson finished the season with 10 goals and 70 points in 79 games, as well as a plus-12 rating.
