We have our verdict regarding the Montreal Canadiens' goaltenders, and the organization has announced a decision for tomorrow's game.
I believe we can officially say there has been a changing of the guard in the Tricolore's net: we have a new number-one goaltender, and that goaltender is Jakub Dobes!
He is the one who will be in net for his team this Wednesday night against the Utah Mammoth.
Martin St-Louis decides, announces his verdict, and sends Jakub Dobes between the pipes against the Utah Mammoth
"Doby will start for Montreal against Utah on Wednesday"
- Montreal Canadiens
- Montreal Canadiens
The reality is that both Canadiens goalies have been rather disappointing over the past few weeks, but Dobes showed very promising signs, notably on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He is therefore rewarded immediately.
"The Montreal Canadiens announce that Jakub Dobes will be starting tomorrow's game against the Utah Mammoth."

It's an interesting decision! Would you have done the same?
Jakub Dobes, 24 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound goaltender who was a 5th-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2020.
He has a 7-2-2 record this season with a goals-against average of 2.88 and a save percentage of .895.
In his career, we're talking about a 14-6-5 record, a goals-against average of 2.80, and a save percentage of .904 for the young Dobes.
More details to come.
