Dobes will tend the twine at home against the Lightning on Tuesday, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dobes will be making his ninth appearance in the Habs' last 11 contests, having gone 4-3-1 with a .880 save percentage. With Sam Montembeault still recovering from an illness, it seems Dobes will continue to feature as the No. 1 option in Montreal. Once both netminders are healthy, they will likely move into a split share of the workload.

Dobes stopped 14 of 18 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

This marked the first time Dobes has started on consecutive days in his career, and the results weren't great. He was pressed into duty since Sam Montembeault (illness) couldn't suit up Sunday. Dobes has won four of his last six outings, but he's given up 19 goals over that span. Overall, he's at a 10-4-2 record with a 3.03 GAA and an .890 save percentage. Montembeault is likely to be ready to play Tuesday versus the Lightning, but Dobes has been the slightly better option between the pipes this year.

Dobes will defend the home crease against the Blues on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dobes has been strong in his last two outings, posting a 1.39 GAA and .945 save percentage en route to back-to-back overtime victories. Although he started against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, he'll draw another start in the second half of the back-to-back set since Sam Montembeault has been ruled out due to an illness. Kaapo Kahkonen was called up from AHL Laval to serve as the backup for Sunday's game.

Dobes made 22 saves in a 2-1 shootout win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Scott Laughton beat him with a slapper on a shorthanded breakaway at 10:28 of the third period. Dobes has two straight wins and is 4-1-0 in his last five starts. He has allowed just eight goals in the four wins, one more than the seven he coughed up against Colorado at the end of November.

Dobes will be between the pipes on the road against Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dobes will take the first game of the Habs back-to-back, which likely means Sam Montembeault will guard the cage at home against the Blues on Sunday. The 24-year-old Dobes has struggled in his last eight outings, registering a 4.05 GAA and 3-3-2 record -- though that stretch does include a 24-save victory over the Leafs on Nov. 22.

Dobes stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

After getting shelled for seven goals in Colorado last Saturday, Dobes bounced back with a much better effort. The 24-year-old netminder might be making another push to move past Sam Montembeault on Montreal's depth chart -- he's won three of his last four starts and allowed three goals or fewer in five of his last six, although his 3.11 GAA and .891 save percentage on the season remain mediocre.

Dobes will be between the pipes at home versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, Marc Dumont of Montreal Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dobes started the 2025-26 campaign riding a six-game winning streak, but has since gone 2-3-2 in his past seven outings while sporting a 4.42 GAA. He gave up seven goals to the Avalanche on Saturday in his last appearance. Still, the 24-year-old backstop has already set a new personal best for wins this year (eight), and could push Sam Montembeault for more opportunities.

Dobes made 29 saves in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough afternoon in the Rockies for the Canadiens, as Dobes saw four pucks get past him before Ivan Demidov even got Montreal on the board midway through the second period. The seven goals allowed were a season worst for the 24-year-old netminder, and after a sizzling 6-0-1 start to the campaign, Dobes is 2-3-1 over his last six outings while giving up 24 goals on 157 shots (.847 save percentage).

Dobes will guard the road goal against Colorado on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Dobes will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Sam Montembeault plays in Friday's road matchup against Vegas. The 24-year-old Dobes has won his last two outings while stopping 55 of 60 shots. He has earned a record of 8-2-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 12 appearances this season. Colorado ranks first in the league with 4.09 goals per game this campaign.

Dobes stopped 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mammoth.

EDGE Analysis

Utah scored three goals in a span of 4:09 during the second period, taking a 3-2 lead. Dobes settled down after that stretch, slamming the door while the Canadiens rallied to take the lead, and ultimately the win as well. He's won two starts in a row to shake off a four-game skid. For the season, the 24-year-old is up to 8-2-2 with a 2.89 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 12 appearances. Dobes' performance won't win any awards, but he's been far steadier than Sam Montembeault, which could lead to a timeshare in the Montreal crease. Both goalies will likely draw a tough matchup to close out this road trip, as the Canadiens visit the Golden Knights on Friday and the Avalanche on Saturday.
