Barré-Boulet is back in action, and Dobes is following suit!
This is solid reinforcement for Pascal Vincent's squad, great news for Laval Rocket fans, and, above all, it provides interesting options for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
Could this prompt Hughes to recall Barré-Boulet, or Dobes, or maybe even both?
This will be an interesting storyline to watch.
See the confirmation from the excellent Anthony Marcotte, the official play-by-play announcer for the Rocket games on BPM Sports.
It's worth noting that despite Dobes' return to health, Connor Hughes will be in goal tonight in Belleville. But we have to admit he absolutely doesn't deserve to be taken out of the net at this point.
Pascal Vincent has the luxury of having two excellent goalies.
Barré-Boulet, 27, has accumulated 8 points in 5 games this season with the Rocket, after playing two games with the Montreal Canadiens.
Dobes, 23, has a record of 4-0-0 this season with the Rocket, following a solid training camp with the Montreal Canadiens. He has a goals-against average of 2.25 and a save percentage of 0.910.
Hughes, 28, has a record of 4-1-0 this season with the Rocket, also after a strong training camp. He boasts a goals-against average of 1.81 and an impressive save percentage of 0.937.
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are certainly keeping an eye on them.
And if it were your decision, what would you do?
