PostSportsPlus: ‘Gotta have some velocity on it’: The evolution of Noah Dobson’s shot into an Islanders weapon
When Noah Dobson first came up to the NHL back in the 2019-20 season, he was usually a healthy scratch. That gave him a lot of time.
No one could accuse Dobson of lacking those qualities on his shot now. Just 33 games into the Islanders’ season, he’s three goals off of his career high, having scored 10 times. A shot that was “just OK” has become a weapon, effective from anywhere on the ice and with the velocity to beat goaltenders without the help of tips and deflections.
He’s worked with skills coaches over the summers in Prince Edward Island, too, but most of the development of his shot has come on his own, via repetition. Added Lambert: “We have more of a shot mentality from the defense. There’s a little bit less of D-to-D [passing], a lot more shots. Especially from low to high … as long as we have traffic [around the net], he’s having some success.”Via Twitter, @IslesMSGN
