Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Takes shootout loss
Dobes stopped 28 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.
Dobes allowed multiple goals for the first time in his last three games. The 24-year-old has carved out a fairly even split of playing time with Jacob Fowler lately, and getting positive results should help Dobes avoid being relegated to the backup role. He's now at a 12-5-3 record with a 2.90 GAA and an .894 save percentage over 20 appearances this season. The Canadiens' road trip continues in Boston on Tuesday, which projects as a start for Fowler if the team continues to alternate goalies.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Tending twine in Pittsburgh
Dobes will defend the road crease against Pittsburgh on Sunday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Nabs second straight win
Dobes made 14 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over Chicago.
The 24-year-old netminder was far from busy, but he shut the door on the visitors after Frank Nazar redirected a puck past him midway through the first period to open the scoring. Dobes has won two straight starts and four of six outings in December as he settles into a timeshare with Jacob Fowler, posting a stellar 2.21 GAA and .908 save percentage so far this month.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Between pipes against Chicago
Dobes will defend the home crease against the Blackhawks on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Dobes has sat out three of Montreal's last four games, but he'll return to the crease against the Blackhawks, who are scoring 2.82 goals per game this season, which is tied for the eighth-worst mark in the NHL. Over five starts this month, Dobes has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Sharp in Sunday's win
Dobes stopped 27 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Dobes had lost his previous two starts before watching two straight games as Jacob Fowler got his first taste of NHL action. The pressure of competition may help Dobes steady his play, especially since Fowler is viewed as the Canadiens' long-term future in goal, something Dobes will want to delay for as long as possible. The 24-year-old Dobes is 11-5-2 with a 3.03 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 18 games. In addition to Fowler, the veteran Sam Montembeault remains in the mix for starts, which could lead to a crowded crease in Montreal for the foreseeable future.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start Sunday
Dobes will defend the home crease Sunday against the Oilers, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Dobes has lost his last two outings, conceding a total of seven goals on 32 shots in losses to St. Louis and Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old is 10-5-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. With Jacob Fowler now up with the big club and drawing starts, Dobes will need to clean up his game in short order to avoid losing out on playing time.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Pulled after three-goal first frame
Dobes allowed three goals on 14 shots Tuesday before he was replaced after the first period. The game finished 6-1in favor of Tampa Bay, and he took the loss.
It was the third star of October's fourth start in a row (2-2-0). Sam Montembeault allowed three goals on 12 shots in relief. Dobes has come down from that hot start to the season, and the Canadiens have slipped out of a wild-card spot. How much has he struggled? Dobes was 6-0-0 to start the season, and he made 159 saves, giving up just 12 goals (.930 save percentage). Heading into Tuesday night, he was 4-4-1 with an .865 save percentage with 31 goals allowed (230 shots). However, Montenbeault has been worse (5-6-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .861 save percentage heading into Tuesday). You need to park both men for now. Yikes.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Between pipes versus Bolts
Dobes will tend the twine at home against the Lightning on Tuesday, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.
Dobes will be making his ninth appearance in the Habs' last 11 contests, having gone 4-3-1 with an .880 save percentage. With Sam Montembeault still recovering from an illness, it seems Dobes will continue to feature as the No. 1 option in Montreal. Once both netminders are healthy, they will likely move into a split share of the workload.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Poor showing in Sunday's loss
Dobes stopped 14 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.
This marked the first time Dobes has started on consecutive days in his career, and the results weren't great. He was pressed into duty since Sam Montembeault (illness) couldn't suit up Sunday. Dobes has won four of his last six outings, but he has given up 19 goals over that span. Overall, he's at a 10-4-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .890 save percentage. Montembeault is likely to be ready to play Tuesday versus the Lightning, but Dobes has been the slightly better option between the pipes this year.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Drawing start against St. Louis
Dobes will defend the home crease against the Blues on Sunday.
Dobes has been strong in his last two outings, posting a 1.39 GAA and .945 save percentage en route to back-to-back overtime victories. Although he started against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, he'll draw another start in the second half of the back-to-back set since Sam Montembeault has been ruled out due to an illness. Kaapo Kahkonen was called up from AHL Laval to serve as the backup for Sunday's game.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Fourth win in last five starts
Dobes made 22 saves in a 2-1 shootout win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Scott Laughton beat him with a slapper on a shorthanded breakaway at 10:28 of the third period. Dobes has two straight wins and is 4-1-0 in his last five starts. He has allowed just eight goals in the four wins, one more than the seven he coughed up against Colorado at the end of November.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gets starting nod versus Leafs
Dobes will be between the pipes on the road against Toronto on Saturday.
Dobes will take the first game of the Habs back-to-back, which likely means Sam Montembeault will guard the cage at home against the Blues on Sunday. The 24-year-old Dobes has struggled in his last eight outings, registering a 4.05 GAA and 3-3-2 record -- though that stretch does include a 24-save victory over the Leafs on Nov. 22.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Back in win column Wednesday
Dobes stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
After getting shelled for seven goals in Colorado last Saturday, Dobes bounced back with a much better effort. The 24-year-old netminder might be making another push to move past Sam Montembeault on Montreal's depth chart -- he's won three of his last four starts and allowed three goals or fewer in five of his last six, although his 3.11 GAA and .891 save percentage on the season remain mediocre.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gets starting nod versus Jets
Dobes will be between the pipes at home versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, Marc Dumont of Montreal Hockey Now reports.
Dobes started the 2025-26 campaign riding a six-game winning streak, but has since gone 2-3-2 in his past seven outings while sporting a 4.42 GAA. He gave up seven goals to the Avalanche on Saturday in his last appearance. Still, the 24-year-old backstop has already set a new personal best for wins this year (eight), and could push Sam Montembeault for more opportunities.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Buried by Avs
Dobes made 29 saves in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Colorado.
It was a rough afternoon in the Rockies for the Canadiens, as Dobes saw four pucks get past him before Ivan Demidov even got Montreal on the board midway through the second period. The seven goals allowed were a season worst for the 24-year-old netminder, and after a sizzling 6-0-1 start to the campaign, Dobes is 2-3-1 over his last six outings while giving up 24 goals on 157 shots (.847 save percentage).

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Starting Saturday
Dobes will guard the road goal against Colorado on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Dobes will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Sam Montembeault plays in Friday's road matchup against Vegas. The 24-year-old Dobes has won his last two outings while stopping 55 of 60 shots. He has earned a record of 8-2-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 12 appearances this season. Colorado leads the league with 4.09 goals per game in 2025-26.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Overcomes shaky middle frame
Dobes stopped 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.
Utah scored three goals in a span of 4:09 during the second period, taking a 3-2 lead. Dobes settled down after that stretch, slamming the door while the Canadiens rallied to take the lead, and ultimately the win as well. He's won two starts in a row to shake off a four-game skid. For the season, the 24-year-old is up to 8-2-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 12 appearances. Dobes' performance won't win any awards, but he's been far steadier than Sam Montembeault, which could lead to a timeshare in the Montreal crease. Both goalies will likely draw a tough matchup to close out this road trip, as the Canadiens visit the Golden Knights on Friday and the Avalanche on Saturday.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Confirmed starter for Wednesday
Dobes will tend the twine in Utah on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Dobes got back in the win column Saturday against Toronto on the heels of his four-game losing streak. His 24-save performance against the Leafs was his best showing in a month -- Dobes hadn't allowed two goals or less since Oct. 22 in Calgary prior to Saturday. As for Wednesday's opponent, the Mammoth have won back-to-back games over the Rangers and Golden Knights following a four-game skid. Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther clicked on Utah's second line after being reunited in Monday's 5-1 win over Vegas, combining for seven points, so this could be a challenging task for Dobes and the Canadiens in the first game of their road trip out west.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Beaten twice Saturday
Dobes stopped 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Dobes was beaten on even strength late in the second period and on the power play in the third. This was a nice bounce-back performance for Dobes, who was on a four-game winless skid (0-2-2) while allowing 16 goals on 89 shots before this performance. Dobes should remain as a backup behind Sam Montembeault, though, so his fantasy upside will remain fairly low until further notice.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Tending twine Saturday
Dobes will protect the home net against Toronto on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Dobes has lost his last four outings (0-2-2) while allowing 16 goals on 89 shots. He has a 6-2-2 record with a 2.96 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Toronto ranks fourth in the league with 3.43 goals per game this campaign. However, the Maple Leafs will likely be without integral offensive forwards Auston Matthews (lower body) and Matthew Knies (lower body) in Saturday's contest.
