Dobes allowed two goals on 11 shots during Saturday's 4-3 preseason overtime win over the Maple Leafs.
Dobes is likely to begin the 2026-27 campaign as the Canadiens' No. 1 netminder after signing a three-year extension during the offseason. He drew the home start in Saturday's split-squad game to begin the preseason, but he didn't have his sharpest performance before Jacob Fowler entered midway through the second period. Dobes has considerable potential after going 29-10-4 with a 2.78 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 43 regular-season appearances with Montreal last year.
