Martin St-Louis Confirms His Starting Goalie for the Canadiens-Kraken Matchup
We have finally learned that the Montreal Canadiens will trust Jakub Dobes to face the Seattle Kraken tonight.
The mystery is finally solved.
Indeed, Martin St-Louis has confirmed that Jakub Dobes will get the start against the Kraken, as the Canadiens wrap up their Western road trip.
It will be another great opportunity for the young Czech goaltender to continue his impressive run. I really think that, over the past few weeks, he seems to be playing with an entirely new level of confidence.
Jakub Dobes gets another start against the Seattle Kraken
Undefeated this season, Dobes boasts a perfect record of 5-0-0, a 1.77 goals-against average, and a .940 save percentage. It's truly incredible what he's accomplishing this season!
At just 24 years old, he's already establishing himself as one of the pleasant surprises of the Canadiens' early season.
This decision suggests that Montembeault could very well be the starter on Saturday night, when the Canadiens return home to face the Ottawa Senators.
On social media, several fans reacted quickly to this announcement.
One fan even expressed disagreement with the Canadiens' strategy:
"unpopular opinion: by doing this move, you are throwing Monty to the wolves against the sens who have been lighting it up lately. I would rather him start against a less offensive minded team like the Kraken then let him get bombarded Saturday. we'll see..."
Journalist Marco D'Amico, who shared the initial news, quickly replied to the comment, admitting he saw the situation the same way:
"I saw it the same way, personally." - D'Amico
In any case, tonight's game promises to be an exciting one!
It will start at 10:30 p.m. at Climate Pledge Arena, broadcast on RDS and TSN2.
Let's not forget that Martin St-Louis made it clear he isn't concerned about Samuel Montembeault and continues to express full confidence in his goaltender.
