Interesting Goalie Movement Announced Within the Canadiens Organization
We have a personnel movement to report in goal within the Montreal Canadiens organization.
First, let's recall that last Friday, young goaltender Jakub Dobes unfortunately got injured against the Toronto Marlies.
We don't have further details on the length of his absence, but it's often said that actions speak louder than words.
Speaking of concrete actions, a goaltender has just been called up.
Hunter Jones Called Up by the Laval Rocket
It is clear that we shouldn't expect to see Dobes back in goal anytime soon.
Dobes, standing 6 feet 5 inches tall, has a record of 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 overtime loss this season, with a goals-against average of 2.55 and a save percentage of 0.904.
While waiting for his return, note that the Minnesota Wild's 2019 second-round pick, Hunter Jones, has been called up to reinforce the Laval Rocket.
Jones, 24 years old, is a big goaltender standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 194 pounds.
He has intriguing potential, with a record of 4-0-3 this season with the Trois-Rivières Lions (3.11 goals-against average and 0.909 save percentage).
Could this personnel move lead to another?
Knowing that Luke Cavallin, Hunter Jones, and Connor Hughes are now with the Laval Rocket, could Hughes, for example, be called up if Cayden Primeau's struggles continue in the NHL?
Details will follow.
For now, it seems that Cavallin and Jones are absolutely capable of providing good service for the Montreal Canadiens' AHL affiliate.
