We have an interesting update out of Brossard regarding the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

All signs point to Jakub Dobes being the Montreal Canadiens’ starting goaltender for tomorrow’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

This would be the first expected change to the lineup used against Patrick Roy’s New York Islanders.<\/p>\n

“It’s also worth noting, without much surprise, that Jakub Dobes looked like the #1 goalie. He didn’t really share his net, while Jacob Fowler occasionally gave way to Samuel Montembeault.”<\/p>\n

On the ice, the goalie usage left no room for interpretation. Jacob Fowler had to split reps with veteran Samuel Montembeault, while Jakub Dobes took every single repetition.<\/p>\n

That rotation in the secondary net clearly confirms the plan for tomorrow’s game.<\/p>\n

All signs point to Jakub Dobes starting against the Carolina Hurricanes<\/p>\n

Facing the Carolina Hurricanes is always a major test for any goaltender.<\/p>\n

This will be another crucial game in the standings against a formidable opponent, and we’re eager to see what kind of performance young Dobes can deliver.<\/p>\n

Martin St-Louis needs to see his young players rise in key moments of the schedule, and that includes his young goaltender.<\/p>\n

A win would allow Jakub Dobes to gain significant ground in solidifying his role as the team’s number-one goalie.<\/p>\n

Jakub Dobes, 24, is a 6-foot-4 goaltender who was selected in the 5th round by the Montreal Canadiens in 2020.<\/p>\n
