Concerning Scene Involving Canadiens Goalie Jakub Dobes: He Has Left Tonight's Game
We just witnessed a concerning scene during the matchup between the Laval Rocket and the Toronto Marlies, involving goaltender Jakub Dobes.
While some believed he was on the verge of being called up by the Montreal Canadiens, this situation puts everything on hold.
This is a developing story, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available. For now, all we can confirm is that Dobes has left tonight's game.
He sustained an injury during the following sequence (video in the second slide):
An injury at the worst possible time for Jakub Dobes
We sincerely hope it's nothing too serious, but the footage is not very encouraging to watch.
"Connor Hughes is very solid in relief of Jakub Dobes, who was injured. He hasn't allowed anything so far."
Anthony Marcotte, BPM Sports "Jakub Dobes just got injured while trying to make a save. I'm not sure what happened, but not only is the Rocket down another key piece, but now a cold Connor Hughes is stepping in."
Matt Drake
His game is clearly over:
Quietly, Dobes has been on an excellent run, and overall, he's been very solid for more than a year with the Canadiens' AHL affiliate.
A 29-16-5 record, 2.51 goals-against average, and .915 save percentage for Dobes over the past twelve months.
Yes, we're all hoping for good news for Dobes, who truly seems to be a legitimate option for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens.
Details to follow.
