Date News Advice
April 12, 2025 Dobes made 34 saves Saturday in a 1-0 overtime loss to Toronto. - The Habs played a strong game in front of Dobes, and he was outstanding. The ice was tilted toward him -- Anthony Stolarz made just 15 saves on the night. Mitch Marner was the only Maple Leafs player to beat Dobes. The first-year goalie has played well this season, recording a 7-4-3 record, 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage. None
April 11, 2025 Dobes will protect the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. - Dobes will get the second half of the Canadiens' back-to-back after Sam Montembeault was in goal for Friday's 5-2 loss to the Senators. Dobes won his last start over the Predators, but he had lost his previous three decisions. He is 7-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 15 games. None
April 6, 2025 Dobes led the Canadiens onto the ice for Sunday's warmups, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Nashville. - Dobes hasn't appeared in any of the Canadiens' last five games, but he'll draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. Over five appearances since the start of March, he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage. None
March 28, 2025 Dobes turned aside 24 shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers. - Philly came out of the gates hot under interim head coach Brad Shaw, scoring three goals on 11 shots in the first period, and Dobes has basically no chance on any of those tallies. The 23-year-old rookie netminder hasn't won a game since March 1, going 0-2-1 over his last four outings with a 4.24 GAA and .862 save percentage. None
March 27, 2025 Dobes will guard the road goal versus Philadelphia on Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports. - Dobes stopped four of five shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to St. Louis in relief after Sam Montembeault got the hook. The 23-year-old Dobes has a 6-3-2 record with one shutout, a 2.75 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 13 NHL appearances this season. Philadelphia has lost six straight outings and sits 26th in the league with 2.70 goals per game in 2024-25. None
March 26, 2025 Dobes stopped four of five shots in relief during Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Blues. - Sam Montembeault allowed five goals on 32 shots before being replaced by Dobes with 9:48 remaining in the third period. However, Dobes was unable to leave the ice without conceding at least one goal. The 23-year-old has made four appearances this month, going 1-1-1 with a 2.89 GAA and an .899 save percentage. He's not expected to claim the starting role any time soon, however, so his upside will remain limited in most fantasy formats. None
March 12, 2025 Dobes gave up five goals on 35 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Kraken. - This one will sting -- the Canadiens were ahead 4-2 midway through the third period. Dobes allowed a pair of power-play goals to Jani Nyman and Matty Beniers, and then Brandon Montour scored four seconds into overtime, which is the fastest goal from the start of overtime in NHL history. Over his last seven outings, Dobes has gone 1-3-2 with 23 goals allowed on 198 shots. The 23-year-old netminder slipped to 6-3-2 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 12 starts as a rookie this season. Sam Montembeault is likely to get the nod in a tough home matchup versus the Panthers on Saturday. None
March 10, 2025 Dobes will defend the road net against Seattle on Wednesday. - Dobes will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Sam Montembeault plays in Tuesday's road matchup versus Vancouver. The 23-year-old Dobes stopped 23 shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Calgary. He has a 6-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.49 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Seattle sits 15th in the league with 2.94 goals per game in 2024-25. None
March 9, 2025 Dobes turned aside 23 shots in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Flames. - Joel Farabee ripped a shot past the rookie netminder from the faceoff dot late in the second period, and it was all the offense the home side would need. Dobes has just one win in his last six outings dating back to Jan. 25, going 1-3-1 with a 3.39 GAA and .890 save percentage, but Saturday's effort could encourage coach Martin St. Louis to take some of the load off Sam Montembeault's shoulders. None
March 7, 2025 Dobes was sent to AHL Laval on Friday, but the Canadiens clarified that it's a paper transaction. - Dobes should be back with Montreal soon, but this move keeps him eligible to be sent to AHL Laval for the rest of the season. He has a 6-2-1 record, 2.63 GAA and .909 save percentage in 10 appearances with the Canadiens in 2024-25. None
March 2, 2025 Dobes made 23 saves on 25 total attempts in Saturday's 4-2 road win over the Sabres. - After a scoreless first frame, the Sabres got the puck past Dobes twice in 90 seconds to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead. However, the 23-year-old netminder shut them out the rest of the way to help pave the way for a Canadiens' win. Overall, Dobes is up to a 6-2-1 record with a 2.63 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Saturday's win was his first since Jan. 19 when he had a five-game winning streak. Even in contests that Dobes has lost, he has been effective against a high volume of shots. Now that he's back in the win column, the Canadiens' backup netminder could be streamed for a spot start in deeper leagues. None
Feb. 28, 2025 Dobes will serve as the starting goaltender for Saturday's road game against Buffalo. - Dobes hasn't been particularly sharp in recent outings, going 0-2-1 with a 4.48 GAA and .868 save percentage over his last four appearances. He'll make his first start since the 4 Nations Face-Off break against a somewhat formidable opponent, as the Sabres are tied for 11th in the NHL with 3.19 goals per game. None
Feb. 9, 2025 Dobes gave up three goals on eight shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning. - Dobes was pulled for Sam Montembeault after giving up a goal to Brayden Point early in the second period. The Canadiens managed to cover the damage Dobes did, sparing him the loss despite his poor performance. He's still winless in his last four outings with 15 goals allowed in that span after opening his career with five straight wins. Dobes is at 5-2-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage through nine appearances. While his hot start earned him some attention, he should be treated like any other backup goalie on a bad team for fantasy purposes. None
Feb. 7, 2025 Dobes will patrol the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Sunday. - Sam Montembeault will start against the Devils on Saturday, leaving Sunday's start to Dobes. Dobes has struggled in his last three starts, going 0-2-1 and allowing 12 goals on 106 shots (.887 save percentage). Dobes won his first five starts in the NHL and is 5-2-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage. The Lightning could give Dobes all sorts of problems as Tampa Bay is generating 3.49 goals per game, third in the NHL this season. None
Feb. 5, 2025 Dobes will guard the road goal versus the Kings on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Sam Montembeault handled the goaltending duties in a 4-3 win over the Sharks on Tuesday. After winning his first five games, Dobes has allowed seven goals on 70 shots while going 0-1-1 over his last two outings. This could be a tough matchup for the Canadiens to generate offense, but the Kings have scored just 10 times over their last six games, so Dobes may not have too much trouble. None
Jan. 30, 2025 Dobes allowed three goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Wild. - It took seven games into his NHL career for Dobes to pick up his first loss. He didn't get much help from his teammates on the first two goals. Alexandre Carrier knocked the stick out of his hands, and Liam Ohgren scored seconds later. Two minutes later, a defensive breakdown led to a two-on-one rush and to a Marco Rossi tally. Dobes has been a good story since being called up in late December, but the rookie has allowed 11 goals over his last three starts and lost two straight. Montreal has a two days off before beginning a road trip in Anaheim on Sunday. None
Jan. 29, 2025 Dobes is set to start at home against the Wild on Thursday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Wednesday. - Dobes has a 5-0-1 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 save percentage in six appearances in 2024-25. He suffered his first career NHL loss Saturday when he stopped 40 of 44 shots in a 4-3 overtime defeat to New Jersey. Minnesota ranks 18th in goals per game with 2.92. None
Jan. 26, 2025 Dobes stopped 40 of 44 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils. - Dobes had been a revelation early in his NHL career, as he had a perfect 5-0-0 record with a 1.55 GAA and a .941 save percentage over the first five outings of his career before losing Saturday. Even with the loss, Dobes earned his team a valuable standings point with his 40-save effort. The promising 23-year-old netminder is still behind Sam Montembeault on the depth chart, but Dobes' early success makes him a viable fantasy option whenever he's called to defend the Canadiens' crease. None
Jan. 25, 2025 Dobes will be between the home pipes versus New Jersey on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports. - Dobes has been a revelation early in his NHL career. He is a perfect 5-0-0 with a 1.55 GAA and a .941 save percentage. Dobes will play for the sixth time in 15 contests, as he is still behind Sam Montembeault on the depth chart. New Jersey has registered 3.06 goals per game, 12th in the league this season. None
Jan. 19, 2025 Dobes will be between the home pipes versus the Rangers on Sunday, per Colin Stephenson of Newsday. - Dobes has been excellent through the first four starts of his NHL career, posting a perfect 4-0-0 record, .963 save percentage and 0.98 GAA. He made 32 saves in a 3-1 road victory over Dallas on Thursday. The Rangers have played well lately, going 5-0-2 in their last seven contests. None
Jan. 16, 2025 Dobes will patrol the road crease in Dallas on Thursday. - Dobes is a perfect 3-0-0 with a 0.97 GAA and a .959 save percentage to begin his NHL career. The 23-year-old has won all three games on the road, including wins over Florida, Colorado and Washington, not exactly the pushovers of the NHL. He will have another tough test, as the Stars are tied for sixth in the NHL overall standings with 57 points, while averaging 3.21 goals per game this season, which ranks ninth in the league. None
Jan. 10, 2025 Dobes stopped 15 of 17 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals. - Dobes wasn't terribly busy but did his job in securing a third win in three starts. He's allowed just three goals on 74 shots since being called up from AHL Laval. Montreal is back in action Saturday when it hosts the Stars. None
Jan. 9, 2025 Dobes will be between the visiting pipes in Washington on Friday, Stu Cowen of The Montreal Gazette reports. - Dobes' NHL career has gotten off to a scintillating start, shutting out the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers 4-0, while making 34 saves in his NHL debut, and following that up with a 22-save performance in a 2-1 shootout win over Colorado. Dobes will face the Capitals, who are scoring 3.66 goals per game in 2024-25. None
Jan. 4, 2025 Dobes will guard the road goal against Colorado on Saturday. - Dobes earned a 34-save shutout in his NHL debut last Saturday en route to a 4-0 victory against Florida. The Panthers are one of the league's best teams, and the Avalanche are a similarly difficult assignment. Colorado is 24-15-0 and ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.46. None
Dec. 28, 2024 Dobes stopped all 34 shots faced in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Panthers. - Dobes, who was called up from AHL Laval on Friday, shut out the Stanley Cup champs in his NHL debut a day later. Florida out-chanced the Canadiens (25-11), but Dobes looked like a seasoned veteran. In a corresponding move Friday, Montreal placed former backup goalie Cayden Primeau on waivers, and it looks like Dobes will work as the backup to Sam Montembeault going forward. Montembeault will start Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. None
Dec. 27, 2024 Dobes was called up from AHL Laval on Friday. - The 23-year-old netminder will travel with the Canadiens on their two-game road trip to the state of Florida. Dobes was 9-3-1 with a 2.44 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 14 appearances with Laval. There is no word as to whether Samuel Montembeault or Cayden Primeau are hurt, but the move gives the Canadiens a full complement of 23 players on their roster. None
Oct. 7, 2024 Dobes was sent down to AHL Laval on Monday. - Dobes drew a preseason start against Toronto on Sept. 26 and allowed two goals on 34 shots. Despite his solid performance in the defeat, he'll head to the AHL ahead of the regular season, and he'll likely spend most, if not all, of the year in the minors. None
Sept. 26, 2024 Dobes is expected to start on the road in Thursday's preseason game against Toronto, per Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun. - Dobes had a 2.93 GAA and a .906 save percentage in 51 contests with AHL Laval in 2023-24. Although he's getting into preseason action with the Canadiens, the 23-year-old is expected to spend most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign in the minors. None
