Canadiens’ Jakub Dobes named NHL first star of the week
Dobes appeared in three of the Canadiens’ four wins last week, stopping 100 of 104 shots.
The Czech rookie stopped a career-high 41 shots, including the last 33 he faced, in a 5-2 win over Carolina on Tuesday.
He then gave up just one goal in each of his next two starts — a 2-1 win over Columbus on Thursday and a 3-1 come-from-behind win versus the Hurricanes on Sunday.
Montreal ended the week in third place in the Atlantic Division, four points behind Tampa Bay and Buffalo.
Boston centre Pavel Zacha was named second star after putting up five goals and three assists in four games, and Anaheim defenceman John Carlson had seven assists in three games to earn third-star honours.
