Jakub Dobes Defends Ill-Timed Penalty Following Loss to Sharks

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes addressed the media Thursday regarding his late penalty against the San Jose Sharks that cost his team a point. Dobes defended his decision to intervene, stating it was his intuition to help tired teammates on a line change rather than a mistake, though he acknowledged the move backfired. The netminder noted he felt he played well overall and is glad the learning experience occurred early in the season.
