Dobes Gets Saturday Start vs. Maple Leafs Despite Recent 4.05 GAA

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes, 24, will start Saturday's road game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. This marks the first game of a back-to-back, with Sam Montembeault expected to play Sunday. Dobes has faced recent struggles, posting a 4.05 GAA and a 3-3-2 record over his last eight outings. Despite this, his recent performance includes a 24-save victory over the Leafs on November 22nd, suggesting potential for a strong showing.
