Dobes has found himself watching from the sidelines of late, featuring in just one of the Canadiens' last nine outings. That lone appearance was far from impressive, as he gave up five goals on 25 shots (.800 save percentage), though he did still manage to get the win over the Hurricanes on Jan. 1. |
The game was tied 3-3 through two periods, but Montreal dominated the final 20 minutes to hand Dobes the win. The 24-year-old has made only five starts over the last month as part of the Habs' three-man committee between the pipes, but he's gotten the job done when called upon, going 4-0-1 with a 2.56 GAA and an .893 save percentage. |

Dobes was coming off three straight games in which he had posted a save percentage above .900, but that wasn't the case here.

Dobes started the 2025-26 campaign riding a six-game winning streak, but has since gone 2-3-2 in his last seven outings while sporting a 4.42 GAA -- including giving up seven goals to the Avs his last time out. Still, the 24-year-old backstop has already set a new personal best for wins this year (eight), and could push Sam Montembeault for more opportunities down the stretch. |

Dobes was beaten on even strength late in the second period and on the power play in the third. This was a nice bounce-back performance for Dobes, who was on a four-game winless skid (0-2-2) while allowing 16 goals on 89 shots before this performance. Dobes should remain as a backup behind Sam Montembeault, though, so his fantasy upside will remain fairly low until further notice. |

Dobes has gone four consecutive outings posting a save percentage of .870 or lower, so it's hard for fantasy managers to trust him right now, regardless of who the Canadiens are facing when he's protecting the crease. |

Dobes is undefeated in regulation this season, going 6-0-1 with a 12.25 GAA and .920 save percentage in seven outings. Recently, Dobes has started every third game for the Habs, which would mean he likely gets another look versus Washington on Nov. 20. Still, if Dobes keeps playing at this level, he could pry some extra starts away from Sam Montembeault. |
