Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gets hook in first regulation loss

Dobes gave up five goals on 13 shots before being replaced by Sam Montembeault to begin the third period of Thursday's 7-0 loss to the Stars.

Nothing went right for Montreal in an embarrassing home loss, and while Dobes got lifted after a four-goal second period by Dallas, he was still on the hook for his first regulation loss of the campaign. It's the first time this season the 24-year-old netminder has allowed more than four goals in a start, but his last start Nov. 6 was the first time in 2025-26 he's given up more than three. Over his last four outings, Dobes has stumbled to a 4.05 GAA and .839 save percentage.
