Jakub Dobes News

Dobes has had a wildly inconsistent season, varying month to month. He had an elite 2.03 GAA and .930 SV% in six October games (6-0-0), which he followed up with a dreadful November, posting a 4.02 GAA and .849 SV% in seven games (2-3-2). The 24-year-old Czech goalie has been more reliable lately, coming off a stellar 36-save performance in a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres and improving to 6-0-0 in his last six games. The Canadiens enter the action on Monday as +113 road underdogs against the Minnesota Wild, who hold the best record in the NHL since the beginning of November (29-8-7).

Sam Montembeault started two straight for the Canadiens, losing both and allowing seven combined goals, so the team will turn to Dobes on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 24-year-old Dobes hasn't fared much better at keeping the puck out of his net, but he has managed to string together wins in five of his last six outings (5-0-1) while posting a 2.74 GAA and .887 SV%.

He has a 2.90 GAA and .894 SV% in 20 games this season (12-5-3).

With Sam Montembeault on a conditioning assignment with the Laval Rocket (AHL), Montreal is seemingly rotating between Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler. Dobes will tend the twine on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The 24-year-old Czech goalie seemed to be trending back in the right direction, starting December off with a terrific 1.50 GAA and .945 SV% in his first two games (2-0-0) before allowing four goals on 18 shots (.778 SV%) in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues.
