The excellent Marco D'Amico has revealed some important information regarding the Montreal Canadiens' star defenseman, Noah Dobson.
It's known that Dobson suffered a groin injury before the start of the season and during the preseason games, and everything seemed to indicate that he was no longer injured (back to 100%), but no!
According to D'Amico - who is very well connected within the Montreal Canadiens organization - Dobson is still injured!
Noah Dobson is still playing with a groin injury
That's something to keep in mind when judging certain plays involving Dobson-especially since, overall, he's actually had a great start to the season.
That also explains why Noah Dobson "gave up" in his defensive backcheck against the Maple Leafs.
"Are you unaware that he has a groin injury?
Players play through injury all the time Brian, it's very normal; it's just that groin injuries are the type that linger and impact mobility.
Outside of that one play, he looked totally fine. But, for the next week or so, he won't have full stride mobility or power.
Dobson at 80% was still the best defenseman on the ice."

So Dobson appears to be at about 80%; he's playing through this lingering injury, but it's clearly affecting his mobility.. now you know!
It looks like this could last about another week, from what we understand, but the main concern is that it doesn't get worse for Dobson.
In two games this season, Noah Dobson has recorded 1 point, 2 penalty minutes, and 2 shots on goal (while averaging 21:23 of ice time per game) with an even plus-minus rating.
As mentioned, he's been solid despite the injury!
