Dillon had four hits in 14:51 of ice time in a 3-1 win over the Kings on Saturday.
He was nicked with three giveaways on the official scoresheet. Dillon watched from the press box for five games before Saturday. The 35-year-old defender is in the sunset of his career. He has played 1,062 NHL regular-season games, delivering 42 goals and 185 assists. This could be his last chance at a Stanley Cup after competing in the 2016 championship with the Sharks. San Jose lost to Sidney Crosby and the Penguins that year.

Dillon logged an assist, five PIM and three hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.
Dillon fought Mark Kastelic in the first period and assisted a Paul Cotter tally in the third. The helper ended a 20-game point drought for Dillon, who has remained in the lineup as a physical shutdown defenseman on the third pairing despite his lack of offense. He's at 13 points, 45 shots on net, 163 hits, 85 blocked shots and 62 PIM across 67 outings this season.

Dillon's point drought reached 20 games in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.
Dillon has maintained a steady spot on the third pairing for the Devils. During his slump, he's supplied 11 shots on net, 45 hits, 20 blocked shots and 20 PIM. Dillon has 12 points, 45 shots on net, 160 hits, 84 blocks, 57 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 66 appearances this season, putting him on pace for his lowest scoring output since 2019-20, when he had 14 points in 69 outings.

Dillon registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.
Since the start of December, Dillon has collected three helpers, 20 PIM, 50 hits and 22 blocked shots over 21 appearances. The 35-year-old is part of a crowded blue line, and that has limited him to the third pairing, where he can provide physicality but little offense. The defenseman has a total of 12 points, 34 shots on net, 115 hits, 64 blocked shots and 37 PIM across 46 contests this season, while his 17:53 average ice time is the lowest it's been since 2018-19.

Dillon (undisclosed) is slated to play against Dallas on Wednesday, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Dillon missed the third period of Monday's 5-3 loss to Columbus for precautionary reasons, but it seems he won't miss a full game due to the issue. He has three goals, nine points, 24 PIM, 65 hits and 42 blocks in 26 outings this year.
RotoWire via ESPN · Dec 3
Dillon didn't play during the third period of Monday's matchup with Columbus for precautionary reasons, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.
Dillon was injured following a fight with Blue Jackets' Dmitri Voronkov and did initially return to the game before being held out in the third. The 35-year-old Dillon has managed just one goal in his last 19 contests, but did chip in four helpers, 48 hits and 29 blocks. If Dillon suits up against the Stars on Wednesday, he could provide decent category coverage given his ancillary stats.
