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.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Takes loss in relief
Dobes was saddled with the loss Thursday as the Canadiens were downed 8-4 by the Capitals, allowing four goals on 25 shots after replacing Sam Montembeault early in the second period.
After a perfect 5-0-0 record in October, Dobes' fortunes have completely reversed in November, and through four outings this month, he's gone 0-2-2 with a ghastly 4.76 GAA and .820 save percentage. Montembeault has had his own struggles of late, but as long as Dobes continues to fight the puck to this extent, any chance he might have of claiming the top spot in the Montreal crease seems like wishful thinking.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Makes 20 saves Monday
Dobes stopped 20 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets. He also conceded two goals during the shootout.
Dobes didn't have his best performance, but struggles between the pipes have been a trend for the 24-year-old of late. Dobes has gone four consecutive outings posting a save percentage of .870 or lower, so it's hard for fantasy managers to trust him right now, regardless of who the Canadiens are facing when he's protecting the crease.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start Monday
Dobes will tend the goal for Monday's game against the Blue Jackets, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports Sunday.
Dobes was pulled from his last start against the Stars early, allowing five goals on just 13 shots. He'll get the chance to rebound Monday against the Blue Jackets and try to find his early-season form. The 24-year-old allowed two goals or fewer in each of his first four starts, but he has allowed three or more in every start since then. He carries a 6-1-1 record, 2.70 GAA and a .901 save percentage into Monday's matchup.

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.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Guarding cage against Stars
Dobes will patrol the blue paint for Thursday's home clash with Dallas, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Dobes is undefeated in regulation this season, going 6-0-1 with a 2.25 GAA and a .920 save percentage in seven outings. He has started every third game for the Habs recently, which could line him up for another look versus Washington on Nov. 20. Still, if Dobes keeps playing at this level, he could pry some extra starts away from Sam Montembeault.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Burned by Devils in OT
Dobes turned aside 24 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey.
The Canadiens took a 3-2 lead midway through the third period, but Dobes couldn't make it stick -- Timo Meier chipped home the tying tally with the Devils' net empty and just over a minute left in regulation, before Jesper Bratt got free for a breakaway and didn't miss in OT. It was Dobes's first loss of the season, leaving the 24-year-old netminder with a dazzling 6-0-1 record in seven starts to go along with a 2.25 GAA and .920 save percentage.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Expected starter for Thursday
Dobes is set to guard the road goal against New Jersey on Thursday, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports Wednesday.
Dobes has a 6-0-0 record, 1.97 GAA and .930 save percentage in six appearances in 2025-26. While those are ideal numbers, Dobes has surrendered six goals on 52 shots (.885 save percentage) across his past two games, so he might be cooling from his hot start. The Devils are 9-4-0 and tied for sixth in goals per game with 3.54 this year.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Wins in overtime after late fade
Dobes gave up three goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.
Dobes gave up all three goals in the third period, squandering the Canadiens' 3-0 lead. His record remains spotless because of Cole Caufield's overtime tally. Dobes is now 6-0-0 with a 1.97 GAA and a .930 save percentage this season, and he's started four of the Canadiens' last five games. It's quickly looking like head coach Martin St. Louis will ride the hot hand between the pipes. The Canadiens return home to face the Senators on Saturday, which could be a contentious matchup based on their preseason meetings.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start in Seattle
Dobes will be in goal for Tuesday's road matchup versus the Kraken.
Dobes is on fire to start the 2025-26 campaign, as he's yet to be tagged with a loss and has allowed two goals or less in four of his five appearances. The 24-year-old is currently working in a timeshare with Sam Montembeault, but Dobes could force his way into the No. 1 role if he continues to play at a high level. The Kraken are 5-2-2 but rank just 25th in the NHL with 2.78 goals per game this year.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gets win over Canucks
Dobes stopped 28 of 31 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canucks.
Dobes remains undefeated this season, rattling off his fifth straight win to open the campaign. It was the first time he's given up more than two goals in 2025-26, but he was sharp enough to settle in after giving up the first two tallies of the contest. On the year, Dobes is 5-0-0 with a 1.77 GAA and a .940 save percentage. No goalie can sustain numbers that good, but Dobes has been the better of the Canadiens' netminders and looks poised to claw some playing time away from Sam Montembeault.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Expected to start Saturday
Dobes is slated to guard the road crease against Vancouver on Saturday.
Dobes will be looking to extend his season-opening winning streak to five games. He's posted a 1.47 GAA and a .950 save percentage across his four victories. Vancouver is 4-4-0 and is tied for 25th in goals per game with 2.63.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Excellent in overtime win
Dobes stopped 36 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.
Dobes had to deal with ample pressure from the Flames, but he held the fort well. The lone goal came off a turnover, which Adam Klapka was able to capitalize on. Dobes has won four straight games to open the year, allowing just six goals on 119 shots. While Sam Montembeault is still the Canadiens' presumptive starter, there's been no drop in play when head coach Martin St. Louis turns to Dobes. Montembeault will get the nod in the second half of the back-to-back in Edmonton on Thursday, and the Canadiens will complete the road trip with games in Vancouver on Saturday and in Seattle on Tuesday.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gets starting nod versus Flames
Dobes will be between the away pipes against Calgary on Wednesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Dobes is unbeaten through his first three appearances of the season, posting a 1.63 GAA and a .939 save percentage along the way. While it hasn't quite been an even split of the workload right now with Sam Montembeault, Dobes has featured in three of the Habs' opening seven contests and should continue to see plenty of opportunities if he keeps playing at this level.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Stays unbeaten
Dobes made 30 saves in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.
There could be a goaltending controversy brewing in Montreal. Sam Montembeault has had an uneven start to the season, going 2-2-0 in four outings with a 3.26 GAA and an .857 save percentage, but Dobes has been brilliant, going 3-0-0 while allowing just five goals on 82 shots (.939 save percentage). The 24-year-old Dobes was seen as the goalie of the future for the Canadiens coming into 2025-26, but the future could be now if he continues to outplay Montembeault. In the short term, expect the duo to remain in a timeshare as head coach Martin St. Louis gives the veteran a chance to find his footing.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Exits ice first Monday
Dobes was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Marc Antoine Godin of Radio Canada reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Sabres.
Dobes has started the 2025-26 campaign on a two-game winning streak, during which he hasposted a 1.45 GAA and .940 save percentage. With a back-to-back against the Flames and Oilers on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, Dobes won't have to wait long to get another opportunity between the crease. If he keeps playing at this level, Dobes could steal some extra starts away from Sam Montembeault.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Nabs win in OT
Dobes stopped 17 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
The 24-year-old netminder nearly took the loss, but Cole Caufield tied things up with 20 seconds left in regulation and then made Dobes a winner with just three seconds left in OT. Dobes has been impressive in his first two starts of the season, winning both while allowing three goals on 50 shots, but for now, he remains behind Sam Montembeault in the crease for the Habs.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Between pipes Thursday
Dobes will patrol the home crease versus Nashville on Thursday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports,
Dobes will make his second start of the season after allowing only one goal on 31 shots in a 5-1 win over Detroit on Oct. 9. The 24-year-old is backing up Sam Montembeault in the Montreal cage this season. Nashville has scored 12 goals across four games this season.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Bags first win of season
Dobes turned aside 30 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
After Sam Montembeault took the loss in Toronto on Wednesday, Dobes was in the crease for the second game of a back-to-back set and delivered an impressive performance, shutting the door on Detroit after a Dylan Larkin power-play goal early in the first period. Dobes could be Montreal's goalie of the future, but the 24-year-old will cut his teeth in the No. 2 role to begin the 2025-26 campaign after a strong NHL debut last season in which he went 7-4-3 over 16 appearances with a 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage.
