24-Year-Old GoalieG
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.

Dobes is expected to start in Thursday's road clash against Detroit, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Dobes is getting his first start of the season after Sam Montembeault stopped 22 of 25 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Dobes had a 7-4-3 record, 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage in 16 regular-season outings with Montreal last year. He's starting the campaign as Montreal's backup netminder, and Dobes has his work ahead of him in order to steal starts from Montembeault.

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.
