Can't maintain lead in Game 6 loss Dobes allowed six goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres in Game 6.

Impact Dobes gave up a goal 32 seconds into the game, but the Canadiens quickly responded to earn a 3-1 lead. The 24-year-old netminder didn't get any additional help, but he needed it -- the Sabres scored seven straight to close out the contest. Dobes was pulled after Jack Quinn's tally midway through the third period, allowing Jacob Fowler to make his playoff debut. Dobes is down to 7-6 with a 2.59 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 13 outings this postseason. Despite this shaky performance, he's likely to get the nod in Game 7 in Buffalo on Monday, as he's yet to lose consecutive games during this playoff run.

Rallies for Game 5 win Dobes made 33 saves Thursday during the Canadiens' 6-3 win over the Sabres in Game 5 of their second-round series.

Impact The Sabres came out of the first period with a 3-2 lead, finding the back of the net on three of their first four shots. Dobes shook off the rough start and stood on his head the rest of the way, including in a final frame that saw the visitors get out-shot 20-3 as Buffalo desperately tried to get back into the game. Dobes has the Habs one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals, and the 24-year-old netminder will take a 2.28 GAA and .914 save percentage through 12 postseason contests into Game 6 on Saturday back in Montreal.

4 DAYS AGO • YOUTUBE

Stuck with tough loss in Game 4 Dobes stopped 19 shots Tuesday during the Canadiens' 3-2 loss to the Sabres in Game 4 of their second-round series.

Impact The Habs held a 2-1 loss after the first period, but the offense went cold the rest of the way as puck luck turned against them -- the final two goals against Dobes came on Sabres power plays, and the tying tally came on a Tage Thompson dump-in attempt that took a strange carom out of the corner and deflected in off the leg of the startled netminder while he stood in his crease. Dobes has still allowed more than three goals only once in 11 playoff starts, and he heads into Game 5 on Thursday with a 2.22 GAA and .914 save percentage.

Set to start Game 4 Dobes is expected to patrol the crease at home in Game 4 versus the Sabres on Tuesday, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

Impact Dobes has been solid in the postseason, going 6-4 with a 2.13 GAA and .918 save percentage in 10 contests. Considering the 24-year-old backstop has only given up more than two goals in one of his last six outings, there was little doubt he would remain in the crease for Game 4.
