  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: In goal for Game 5

    Dobes will get the starting nod on the road against Washington in Game 5 on Wednesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

    Dobes gave up three goals on 24 shots (.875 save percentage) in Game 4, and he will likely need to improve those numbers if the Habs are going to avoid elimination Wednesday. The 23-year-old backstop has limited experience, having played in just 16 regular-season NHL games this year in which he went 7-4-3 with a 2.74 GAA and one shutout.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Fades late in loss

    Dobes allowed three goals on 24 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals in Game 4. The last two goals were empty-netters.

    Dobes got the start since Sam Montembeault (lower body) was unavailable. The Canadiens took a 2-1 lead after two periods, but Dobes was unable to protect it in the final frame. He won his playoff debut in relief of Montembeault in Friday's Game 3, but Dobes is still a relatively untested rookie netminder. The Canadiens will be facing elimination in Game 5 at Washington on Wednesday, and Dobes will get the nod if Montembeault remains out.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Drawing start in Game 4

    Dobes will serve as the starting netminder at home against the Capitals in Sunday's Game 4, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Dobes got the Game 3 win in relief Friday after Sam Montembeault (lower body) exited the matchup. Montembeault is considered day-to-day, so Dobes will make his first postseason start Sunday. Dobes made 16 appearances during the regular season, going 7-4-3 with a 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Picks up win in relief outing

    Dobes stopped seven of eight shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Capitals in Game 3.

    Dobes made a relief appearance after Sam Montembeault (lower body) left the contest. Dobes entered when the score was 2-2, and the Canadiens took care of business in the third period to get the win. Montembeault's injury creates significant concern despite Dobes' performance in Game 3, as the Canadiens were already facing an uphill battle that only gets steeper if they have to lean on their backup goalie. Game 4 is Sunday in Montreal, and it's unclear if Montembeault will be able to suit up for it.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Almost perfect in OT loss

    Dobes made 34 saves Saturday in a 1-0 overtime loss to Toronto.

    The Habs played a strong game in front of Dobes, and he was outstanding. The ice was tilted toward him -- Anthony Stolarz made just 15 saves on the night. Mitch Marner was the only Maple Leafs player to beat Dobes. The first-year goalie has played well this season, recording a 7-4-3 record, 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: In goal Saturday

    Dobes will protect the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Dobes will get the second half of the Canadiens' back-to-back after Sam Montembeault was in goal for Friday's 5-2 loss to the Senators. Dobes won his last start over the Predators, but he had lost his previous three decisions. He is 7-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 15 games.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Holds firm in win

    Dobes stopped 36 of 37 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.

    Dobes started for the first time in six games and won for the first time since March 1. He allowed an early goal to Steven Stamkos at 4:19 of the first period but closed the door the rest of the way to help the Canadiens get a fifth straight win as they strengthen their grip on the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot. For the season, Dobes is 7-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 15 games. Sam Montembeault is likely to start twice over the next week, but Dobes should get a game either Friday in Ottawa or Saturday in Toronto in the Canadiens' final back-to-back set of the season.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Slated to start against Nashville

    Dobes led the Canadiens onto the ice for Sunday's warmups, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports, indicating that Dobes will draw the road start against Nashville.

    Dobes hasn't appeared in any of the Canadiens' last five games, but he'll draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. Over five appearances since the start of March, he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Falls to Philly

    Dobes turned aside 24 shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

    Philly came out of the gates hot under interim head coach Brad Shaw, scoring three goals on 11 shots in the first period, and Dobes had basically no chance on any of those tallies. The 23-year-old rookie netminder hasn't won a game since March 1, going 0-2-1 over his last four outings with a 4.24 GAA and .862 save percentage.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Defending crease Thursday

    Dobes will guard the road goal versus Philadelphia on Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Dobes stopped four of five shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to St. Louis in relief after Sam Montembeault got the hook. The 23-year-old Dobes has a 6-3-2 record with one shutout, a 2.75 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 13 NHL appearances this season. Philadelphia has lost six straight outings and sits 26th in the league with 2.70 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gives up goal in relief

    Dobes stopped four of five shots in relief during Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blues.

    Sam Montembeault allowed five goals on 32 shots before being replaced by Dobes with 9:48 remaining in the third period. However, Dobes was unable to leave the ice without conceding at least one goal. The 23-year-old has made four appearances this month, going 1-1-1 with a 2.89 GAA and an .899 save percentage. He's not expected to claim the starting role any time soon, however, so his upside will remain limited in most fantasy formats.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Yields five goals Wednesday

    Dobes gave up five goals on 35 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken.

    This one will sting -- the Canadiens were ahead 4-2 midway through the third period. Dobes allowed a pair of power-play goals to Jani Nyman and Matty Beniers, and then Brandon Montour scored four seconds into overtime, which is the fastest goal from the start of overtime in NHL history. Over his last seven outings, Dobes has gone 1-3-2 with 23 goals allowed on 198 shots. The 23-year-old netminder slipped to 6-3-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 12 starts as a rookie this season. Sam Montembeault is likely to get the nod in a tough home matchup versus the Panthers on Saturday.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Starting Wednesday

    Dobes will defend the road net against Seattle on Wednesday.

    Dobes will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Sam Montembeault plays in Tuesday's road matchup versus Vancouver. The 23-year-old Dobes stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Calgary. He has a 6-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.49 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Seattle sits 15th in the league with 2.94 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Takes tough loss in Calgary

    Dobes turned aside 23 shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Flames.

    Joel Farabee ripped a shot past the rookie netminder from the faceoff dot late in the second period, and it was all the offense the home side would need. Dobes has just one win in his last six outings dating back to Jan. 25, going 1-3-1 with a 3.39 GAA and .890 save percentage, but Saturday's effort could encourage coach Martin St. Louis to take some of the load off Sam Montembeault's shoulders.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Expected starter for Saturday

    Dobes was recalled from AHL Laval on Friday and will start in Saturday's road clash against Calgary, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Dobes was only briefly in the minors to keep him eligible for AHL service for the rest of the season. He has a 6-2-1 record, 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage in 10 appearances with Montreal in 2024-25. The Flames rank 32nd in goals per game with 2.58.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Paper move to AHL

    Dobes was sent to AHL Laval on Friday, but the Canadiens clarified that it's a paper transaction.

    Dobes should be back with Montreal soon, but this move keeps him eligible to be sent to AHL Laval for the rest of the season. He has a 6-2-1 record, 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage in 10 appearances with the Canadiens in 2024-25.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Stops 23 shots in win

    Dobes made 23 saves on 25 shots in Saturday's 4-2 road win over the Sabres.

    After a scoreless first frame, the Sabres got the puck past Dobes twice in 90 seconds to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead. However, the 23-year-old netminder shut them out the rest of the way to help pave the way for a Canadiens win. Overall, Dobes is up to a 6-2-1 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Saturday's win was his first since Jan. 19, when he completed a five-game winning streak. Even in contests that Dobes has lost, he has been effective against a high volume of shots. The Canadiens' backup netminder has some streaming appeal whenever he gets the starting nod.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start in Buffalo

    Dobes will serve as the starting goaltender for Saturday's road game against Buffalo.

    Dobes hasn't been particularly sharp in recent outings, going 0-2-1 with a 4.48 GAA and .868 save percentage over his last four appearances. He'll make his first start since the 4 Nations Face-Off break against a somewhat formidable opponent, as the Sabres are tied for 11th in the NHL with 3.19 goals per game.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Spared loss after quick hook

    Dobes gave up three goals on eight shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

    Dobes was pulled for Sam Montembeault after giving up a goal to Brayden Point early in the second period. The Canadiens managed to cover the damage against Dobes, sparing him the loss despite his poor performance. He's still winless in his last four outings with 15 goals allowed in that span after opening his career with five straight wins. Dobes is at 5-2-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage through nine appearances. While his hot start earned him some attention, he should be treated like any other backup goalie on a mediocre team for fantasy purposes.
