Shocking news for Patrick Roy: it is confirmed and very unfortunate

The Islanders under Patrick Roy have experienced a remarkable end of the season, and it seems that their playoff spot is almost secured. However, a very unfortunate piece of news arrives at the worst possible time.

Indeed, defenseman Noah Dobson, who was injured against the Canadiens, has been absent for three consecutive days and remains troubled by his injury. The team has yet to provide an update, but Dobson is not participating in practices or games.

This is really unfortunate, especially since his injury occurred on a relatively innocuous play. Now, there are doubts that he will be available for the playoffs, which is very concerning. He is one of the best players Roy has at his disposal.

The Islanders' chances of causing an upset in the playoffs would be significantly diminished without Dobson. With 70 points in 79 games, he has been one of the key reasons for the Isles' success.
