  • 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.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Facing Lightning on Sunday

    Dobes will patrol the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Sam Montembeault will start against the Devils on Saturday, leaving Sunday's start to Dobes. Dobes has struggled in his last three starts, going 0-2-1 and allowing 12 goals on 106 shots (.887 save percentage). Dobes won his first five starts in the NHL and is 5-2-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage. The Lightning could give Dobes all sorts of problems as Tampa Bay is generating 3.49 goals per game, third in the NHL this season.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Torched for five goals

    Dobes allowed five goals on 36 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

    The Kings had a 2-1 lead through two periods before the game opened in the third, and Dobes couldn't keep pace. He's now given up 12 goals while going 0-2-1 over his last three outings. He's 5-2-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage through eight NHL starts. The 23-year-old has played well enough at times to earn a little leeway, especially since Cayden Primeau had virtually no good moments during his time in the NHL to begin the season. The Canadiens have a home back-to-back prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off break with games against the Devils on Saturday and the Lightning on Sunday. Sam Montembeault and Dobes are likely to split that pair of tough matchups.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Facing Kings

    Dobes will guard the road goal versus the Kings on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Sam Montembeault handled the goaltending duties in a 4-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday. After winning his first five games, Dobes has allowed seven goals on 70 shots while going 0-1-1 over his last two outings. This could be a tough matchup for the Canadiens to generate offense, but the Kings have scored just 10 times over their last six games, so Dobes may not have too much trouble.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Takes first regulation loss

    Dobes allowed three goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Wild.

    It took seven games into his NHL career for Dobes to pick up his first regulation loss. He didn't get much help from his teammates on the first two goals. Alexandre Carrier knocked the stick out of his hands, and Liam Ohgren scored seconds later. Two minutes later, a defensive breakdown led to a two-on-one rush and to a Marco Rossi tally. Dobes has been a good story since being called up in late December, but the rookie has allowed 11 goals over his last three starts and lost two straight. Montreal has two days off before beginning a road trip in Anaheim on Sunday.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Expected starter for Thursday

    Dobes is set to start at home against the Wild on Thursday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Wednesday.

    Dobes has a 5-0-1 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. He suffered his first career NHL loss Saturday when he stopped 40 of 44 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey. Minnesota ranks 18th in goals per game with 2.92.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: First loss of NHL career Saturday

    Dobes stopped 40 of 44 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

    Dobes had been a revelation early in his NHL career, as he had a perfect 5-0-0 record with a 1.55 GAA and a .941 save percentage over the first five outings of his career before losing Saturday. Even with the loss, Dobes earned his team a valuable standings point with his 40-save effort. The promising 23-year-old netminder is still behind Sam Montembeault on the depth chart, but Dobes' early success makes him a viable fantasy option whenever he's called to defend the Canadiens' crease.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Tending twine Saturday

    Dobes will be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Dobes has been a revelation early in his NHL career. He is a perfect 5-0-0 with a 1.55 GAA and a .941 save percentage. Dobes will play for the sixth time in 15 contests, as he is still behind Sam Montembeault on the depth chart. New Jersey has registered 3.06 goals per game, 12th in the league this season.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Remains undefeated

    Dobes stopped 23 of 27 shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

    Dobes struggled for the first time at the NHL level but still came away with a fifth straight win to start his career. His four goals allowed Sunday matched the total the 23-year-old had given up over his first four outings combined. The Rangers were unable to hold any of their one-goal leads, and Patrik Laine finished off the game with the overtime winner. Dobes has posted a 1.55 GAA and a .940 save percentage at the NHL level so far. Those numbers are bound to regress as he gets more playing time, but he should have no trouble maintaining the backup role for the Canadiens, and he's played well enough to afford Sam Montembeault a bit more rest.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Tending twine Sunday

    Dobes will be between the home pipes versus the Rangers on Sunday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday.

    Dobes has been excellent through the first four starts of his NHL career, posting a perfect 4-0-0 record, .963 save percentage and 0.98 GAA. He made 32 saves in a 3-1 road victory over Dallas on Thursday. The Rangers have played well lately, going 5-0-2 in their last seven contests.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Wins again

    Dobes stopped 32 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Stars.

    Dobes let a juicy rebound escape that Jason Robertson put behind him early in the first period, but that was it. Falling behind is no longer the death sentence it used to be for the Canadiens, whose .833 point percentage since the NHL returned from its holiday break ranks second in the league. The lines have been resilient and goaltending elite (2.11 goals allowed per game), including the unflappable Dobes. Dallas poured it on the final two periods, outshooting the Canadiens, 26-13, but Dobes was impressive once again. He's won all four starts to begin his NHL career, and they haven't been cheapies. The rookie has taken down Florida, Colorado, Washington and now Dallas. The Habs have a back-to-back set at home this weekend with games Saturday (Maple Leafs) and Sunday (Rangers). Dobes should get one of those starts.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Facing Stars

    Dobes will patrol the road crease in Dallas on Thursday.

    Dobes is a perfect 3-0-0 with a 0.97 GAA and a .959 save percentage to begin his NHL career. The 23-year-old has won all three games on the road, including wins over Florida, Colorado and Washington, not exactly the pushovers of the NHL. He will have another tough test, as the Stars are tied for sixth in the NHL overall standings with 57 points, while averaging 3.21 goals per game this season, which ranks ninth in the league.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Bags third win

    Dobes stopped 15 of 17 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals.

    Dobes wasn't terribly busy but did his job in securing a third win in three starts. All three victories have come against stiff NHL competition, including a couple of recent Stanley Cup champs (Florida, Colorado). He's allowed just three goals on 74 shots since being called up from AHL Laval. Montreal is back in action Saturday when it hosts the Stars.
