Martin St-Louis Explains His Decision to Trust Jakub Dobes Again Tonight
The Montreal Canadiens are once again counting on Jakub Dobes to conclude their Western road trip, and Martin St-Louis explains his decision.
Martin St-Louis has finally answered the question that many fans had been asking for the past two days: Who will be in net tonight in Seattle?
Well, as mentioned earlier, it's Jakub Dobes who will once again have the confidence of his coach to face the Seattle Kraken.
It's a logical choice according to many, but it also confirms a trend.
Dobes is gradually establishing himself as the number-one goaltender at the moment...
I know, I know - it's always a hot topic, because Monty has given so much to the team over the past few years.
But that's the reality of things. He's just not up to par this season.
Martin St-Louis justifies his choice and highlights the exceptional form of Jakub Dobes
Questioned by the media, Martin St-Louis explained his decision:
"He's in a zone where it's hard not to take advantage of that," said the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens.
With a perfect record of 5-0-0, a goals-against average of 1.77, and a save percentage of .940, Dobes is truly having a spectacular start to the season.
In contrast, Samuel Montembeault is still trying to find his consistency after a tougher start.
St-Louis also emphasized the challenge presented by the Kraken:
"They're a team that works hard. You have to be calculated. They like to make you pay for every mistake." - MSL
As mentioned, this game will mark the end of the Canadiens' Western road trip, and the pressure will be high to finish on a good note. Hopefully, Arber turns in a strong performance tonight, as he's back in the lineup after being benched.
I like what I'm hearing from St-Louis. Always honest!
And honestly, who can blame him? Dobes gives no reason for hesitation.
