It has just been confirmed by Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis regarding Jakub Dobes.
Goaltender Dobes will get the start for the Canadiens tomorrow night, on the road, against the powerful New Jersey Devils.
This will be Dobes's first start in over a week.
Jakub Dobes confirmed as starting goaltender for tomorrow night in New Jersey
See the Canadiens' official confirmation:
Jakub Dobes, 24 years old, has a 6-0-0 record this season, with a goals-against average of 1.97 and an impressive .930 save percentage.
In his NHL career, he has a 2.52 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.
Do you think this is a good decision by Martin St-Louis?
Let's recall that the New Jersey Devils currently sit 4th overall in the NHL standings, with 18 points in 13 games (9 wins and 4 losses). They also hold 1st place in the Metropolitan Division.
As for the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis' squad currently sits 2nd overall in the NHL standings, with 19 points in 13 games (9 wins, 3 losses, and 1 overtime loss).
They also hold 1st place in the Atlantic Division.
They also hold 1st place in the Atlantic Division.
Personally, I love the decision to send Dobes between the pipes tomorrow night.
Even though Martin St-Louis has mentioned that he wants a true number-one goaltender capable of playing the majority of games, and even though he believes that goaltender is Samuel Montembeault.
The truth is, Dobes needs to play a lot right now!
More details to come.
