Dobson was held out of the lineup for the last two games but is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Rangers. Dobson has been held pointless in his last nine games while averaging just 14:14 TOI/gm.




Boqvist was knocked out of Monday's game after one shift and was not on the ice for Wednesday's practice. With Boqvist in concussion protocol, look for Nikita Zadorov to replace him in the lineup on Thursday.

Duclair has missed the last six games with a shoulder injury but will return tonight in Dallas. Duclair, who has 16 points (4G / 12A) in 29 games this season, will be back on the top line with Aleksander Barkov.


Reilly is a solid bottom-4 defenseman that can provide some offensive punch, particularly on the power-play. With Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk dealing with injuries, the Bruins were looking for some veteran insurance. The 27-year-old blueliner is still looking for his first goal of the season but has collected 19 assists in 40 games.






Because Palmieri was able to drive from New Jersey after Wednesday's trade, quarantine is not required, so he'll immediately make his Islanders debut. It's unclear where he will play in his first game with his new team but you have to think the Islanders envision him as a replacement for Anders Lee on the top line and PP1.
