SUMMERSIDE, P.E.I. — Summerside native Noah Dobson had a strong showing for the New York Islanders on Saturday.
The 19-year-old defenceman earned an assist, was a plus-3 and registered three shots on goal in just under 22 minutes of playing time in the Islanders’ 4-3 loss to the host New Jersey Devils.
Dobson also earned an assist on a late tying goal in the Islanders’ 3-2 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sept. 17.
