Jakub Dobes earns right to be Canadiens' No. 1 goalie | HI/O Show
Jakub Dobes stopped 32 of 34 shots Tuesday night in the Canadiens’ 3-2 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights at the Bell Centre, improving his record to 16-5-3 with a 2.96 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage.
Is the 24-year-old ready to take over the No. 1 goalie spot from Samuel Montembeault?
That’s the main question answered on this week’s Hockey Inside/Out Show, as The Gazette’s Stu Cowan is joined by former Canadiens teammates and 1986 Stanley Cup champions Chris Nilan and Rick Green.
The panel also weighs in on whether Canadiens GM Kent Hughes should think about trading for another goalie or if Jacob Fowler might be recalled from the AHL’s Laval Rocket. There’s also discussion on who should be playing on the No. 1 line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, whether there’s a spot for Patrik Laine in the lineup once he fully recovers from his core-muscle injury, and whether Hughes would be willing to include top prospect Michael Hage in any trades.
The panel also tackles this question: Who has been the Canadiens’ best defenceman this season?
