The NHL Issues Correction to Jakub Dobes' Stats After Saturday's Game
Jakub Dobes made sure to leave a good first impression on fans and the management of the Montreal Canadiens. He recorded a shutout in his very first career game in the NHL, against the reigning Stanley Cup Champions no less, and appears to be a potential solution to provide some support for Samuel Montembeault.
If Dobes can truly become a solid goaltender for the Canadiens, it could genuinely change everything for Martin St-Louis' squad.
The 6-foot-5 goaltender stopped every shot fired his way, and on that note, we have an update.
The NHL adds an additional save to Jakub Dobes' stats
This adjustment moves him slightly higher on the list of goaltenders with the most saves in NHL history for a debut game (and a debut shutout).
What was initially a 33-save shutout has now been updated to a 34-save shutout for the young Dobes.
It doesn't change the world, but it's an interesting tidbit.
Let's remember that the Canadiens return to action today against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and this time, Samuel Montembeault is expected to start in goal for the team.
On the official website, Dobes is still listed with 33 saves, but we confirm that he indeed stopped 34 shots.
The 23-year-old Dobes, standing 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 215 pounds, currently boasts a 1.000 save percentage this season with a 0.00 goals-against average in the NHL.
In the AHL, he has a 2.44 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage across 14 games.
Dobes' performance in his debut was so impressive that even Carey Price sent him a heartfelt message.
Carey on Dobby!
