The anticipated news for goaltender Jakub Dobes has been confirmed—he is now officially a viable option for Kent Hughes. Recent events have highlighted that the organization has lost faith in Cayden Primeau, and it seems likely he will be replaced soon.
A source indicated that the Canadiens were on the verge of calling up Dobes before he suffered an injury, but he is now fully recovered. After facing a lower-body injury during a game against the Toronto Marlies on December 6, Dobes is ready to return to play.
Alongside him, Filip Mesar and Vincent Arseneau are also slated to play for the Rocket tonight against Belleville, while Brandon Gignac is close to a return, and Riley Kidney and Sean Farrell will be absent from Pascal Vincent’s lineup.
Is it finally time to promote a goaltender from the Laval Rocket? In any case, Dobes is cleared to play, back to full health, and will be an option for the Montreal Canadiens if necessary.
Additionally, the returns of Filip Mesar, Vincent Arseneau, and Brandon Gignac are worth noting. This may very well be the right moment for Dobes, who stands 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds. He has recorded 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 overtime loss this season with the Laval Rocket, boasting a goals-against average of 2.55 and a save percentage of 0.904.
