Montreal Canadiens
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dobes made the most of his first taste of NHL action, earning a 7-4-3 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 16 games with the Canadiens. He surpassed Cayden Primeau for the backup role early in 2024-25. Dobes also posted a .881 save percentage over three playoff games. Dobes isn't going to push Sam Montembeault out of the starting role any time soon, and Primeau will likely be working hard in training camp to regain the backup job. For fantasy, Dobes is a fine option in deep formats behind a Canadiens team that's on the rise, but he's still largely inexperienced entering his age-24 season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.93 million contract with the Canadiens in July of 2025.
Pulled after three-goal first frame

December 9, 2025
Dobes allowed three goals on 14 shots Tuesday before he was replaced after the first period. The game finished 6-1in favor of Tampa Bay, and he took the loss.
ANALYSIS
It was the third star of October's fourth start in a row (2-2-0). Sam Montembeault allowed three goals on 12 shots in relief. Dobes has come down from that hot start to the season, and the Canadiens have slipped out of a wild-card spot. How much has he struggled? Dobes was 6-0-0 to start the season, and he made 159 saves, giving up just 12 goals (.930 save percentage). Heading into Tuesday night, he was 4-4-1 with an .865 save percentage with 31 goals allowed (230 shots). However, Montenbeault has been worse (5-6-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .861 save percentage heading into Tuesday). You need to park both men for now. Yikes.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could start Thursday
GMontreal Canadiens
October 7, 2025
Eric Engels of Sportsnet expects Dobes to start Thursday's road game versus Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Sam Montembeault will be between the pipes for Wednesday's regular-season opener in Toronto, and Dobes will probably get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back situation. The 24-year-old Dobes posted a 7-4-3 record with one shutout, a 2.74 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 16 regular-season appearances with the Canadiens in 2024-25. He should see more NHL action this year despite occupying the backup role.
