Excellent in overtime win Dobes stopped 36 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.

Impact 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 off 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.

Gets starting nod versus Flames Dobes will be between the away pipes against Calgary on Wednesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Dobes is unbeaten through his first three appearances of the season, posting a 1.63 GAA and .939 save percentage along the way. While not quite an even split of the workload right now, 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.

What the Puck: Canadiens fans are split on Monty-Doby paddle battle With Samuel Montembeault struggling, why not stick with Jakub Dobes, who has the NHL's second-best save percentage and is No. 3 in GAA?

Stays unbeaten Dobes made 30 saves in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Impact 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 .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 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 out-play Montembeault. In the short term, expect the duo to remain in a timeshare as coach Martin St. Louis gives the veteran a chance to find his footing.

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.

Impact Dobes has started the 2025-26 campaign on a two-game winning streak during which he posted 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.

Nabs win in OT Dobes stopped 17 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact 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.

Between pipes Thursday Dobes will patrol the home crease versus Nashville on Thursday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports,

Impact 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.

Bags first win of season Dobes turned aside 30 shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact After Sam Montembault 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.

Guarding road goal Dobes is expected to start in Thursday's road clash against Detroit, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic.

Impact Dobes is getting his first start of the season after Sam Montembeault stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Dobes had a 7-4-3 record, 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage in 16 regular-season outings with Montreal this year. He's starting the campaign as Montreal's backup netminder, and Dobes has his work ahead of him in order to steal starts from Montembeault.

Drawing road start Dobes is set to occupy the road blue paint during Tuesday's exhibition contest in Ottawa, per Stu Cowan.

Impact Head coach Martin St. Louis said the plan is for Dobes to play all three periods against the Sens. The 24-year-old goaltender was perfect in limited action in his first start of the preseason Sept. 23, stopping all nine shots he faced. Dobes likely has the inside track over Kaapo Kahkonen to serve as Sam Montembeault's understudy for the 2025-26 season.
