We suspected it, but it has just been confirmed and announced for the young Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes.
It is indeed him who will be in net for his team tonight against the Dallas Stars.
This decision by head coach Martin St-Louis speaks volumes about the confidence he has in his young goalie.
Even though Samuel Montembeault was outstanding in his last two outings, particularly against the Dallas Stars, and even though he is rested and the Canadiens are facing a league powerhouse, Martin St-Louis is trusting Dobes.
Excellent news!
Jakub Dobes in net tonight in Dallas
See the Canadiens’ official announcement.
Dobes, 23, has a record of 3-0-0 this season with the Montreal Canadiens, a goals-against average of 0.97, and a save percentage of 0.959.

«If Dobes wins tonight, he will have beaten the NHL’s elite in his first four career starts. But it seems like no challenge is too big for him.»
