We have confirmation from the Montreal Canadiens regarding the young goaltender Jakub Dobes.
It is indeed Dobes who will be in net for the Canadiens tonight against the Seattle Kraken, and this confirms a change in goaltending for Martin St-Louis’ team.
As some journalists have just mentioned, if anyone still had doubts, this announcement confirms that, at present, Jakub Dobes is the number one goaltender for the Montreal Canadiens!
