Dobes made 26 saves on 28 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Sabres in Game 3.

The 24-year-old netminder sports an impressive 2.13 GAA and .918 save percentage through his first 10 career playoff starts heading into Game 4 on Tuesday, as the Canadiens look to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
