Samuel Montembeault was excellent in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars five days ago, but the Canadiens will hope for a better fate with Dobes between the pipes in a rematch on Thursday. The 23-year-old Dobes has been tremendous in limited action this season, posting a 0.97 GAA and .959 SV% in three contests (3-0-0). The Canadiens enter the action on Thursday as +190 road underdogs against a Stars club coming off an impressive 4-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Canadiens have won five of their last six and will turn to Dobes between the pipes on Friday against the Washington Capitals. The 23-year-old Dobes has been sensational in limited action since being called up from Laval (AHL) late last month, posting an absurd 0.48 GAA and .982 SV% in two games (2-0-0).


Cayden Primeaeu is expected to be placed on waivers tomorrow, allowing Dobes to make his NHL debut on Saturday against the Florida Panthers. Dobes was a fifth-round pick, 136th overall, of the Canadiens in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old goalie, a product of Ohio State University, has a 2.44 GAA and .910 SV% in 14 games (9-3-1) with the Laval Rocket (AHL).
