Win streak ends in OT loss Dobes halted 20 of 24 shots on net in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.

Impact Despite the Canadiens scoring three consecutive goals in the middle of the contest, Dobes allowed two goals in the first period before giving up the equalizer midway through the third. After holding up through the first three and a half minutes of overtime, he ultimately surrendered the game-winning tally to Minnesota's Kirill Kaprizov. With the OT loss, Dobes now has an 18-5-4 record, a 2.96 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 27 outings this season. Even though the 24-year-old netminder lost his six-game win streak Monday, he has earned the Canadiens a point in each of his last 10 starts. As he's started each of Montreal's last four games, Dobes looks to have a firm hold on the starting job in the team's crease, making him a viable fantasy option in most standard leagues for the time being.

Cowan: Jakub Dobes's competitive fire impresses Canadiens teammates Whether it's on the ice or in the Habs' fantasy football league, the intense 24-year-old rookie netminder doesn't like to lose.

Set to start versus Avs Dobes is slated to guard the cage at home against the Avalanche on Thursday, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

Impact Dobes will make consecutive starts for the first time since early December, despite having gone 6-0-1 in his last seven outings. At this point, the starting gig in Montreal seems to be up for grabs. As such, a couple more strong starts from Dobes could see him unseat Sam Montembeault as the Habs' No. 1 option.

Wins fourth straight start Dobes made 32 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The 24-year-old netminder remains undefeated in January, going 4-0-0 on the month. Dobes hasn't taken a regulation loss since Dec. 9, putting together a 6-0-1 record in seven starts with a 2.52 GAA and .898 save percentage, but for now he remains behind Sam Montembeault on the depth chart for Montreal.

Patrolling crease versus Knights Dobes will be in goal against Vegas at home Tuesday.

Impact Dobes is undefeated in regulation over his last six appearances, posting a 5-0-1 record, but has played in just six of the Habs' last 21 contests. Still, with Jacob Fowler having been sent back to AHL Laval, the 24-year-old Dobes should see an increased workload behind Sam Montembeault.

Third straight win Dobes made 16 saves in a 4-3 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

Impact It's Dobes' third straight win, although that's the extent of games he's played in January. Such was the peril of a three-headed goalie monster, but Jacob Fowler was returned to the AHL a few days ago. Dobes now has sole possession of the second seat, and he could be a solid daily play depending on the matchup. Overall, he's 15-5-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Defending home ice Tuesday Dobes will start in net at home against the Wild on Tuesday.

Impact Tuesday's contest will give Dobes the chance to extend his win streak to three games despite allowing eight combined goals in his previous two outings. Overall, the 24-year-old netminder has a 14-5-3 record with a 3.01 GAA and an .880 save percentage over 22 appearances this season. With Jacob Fowler recently sent down to the AHL, Dobes will likely have to impress in Tuesday's contest if he wants to fend off the 21-year old rookie for a full-time role in the NHL. Entering Tuesday's contest, Minnesota ranks 15th across the league with 3.16 goals per game, meaning Dobes will have his work cut out for him.
