Dobes Nabs NHL's First Star, Habs Surge

Montreal, Canadians, Goli, Jakub Dobs, just snagged the NHL's first star of the week honors.

The Czech rookie backstop three of their four wins, stopping 100 out of 104 shots faced.

That's some lockdown net mining right there.

He hit a career high with 41 saves, including the final 33 and a 5-2 victory over Carolina on Tuesday.

Then, he kept the type, allowing just one goal in each of his next starts,

a two-to-one win against Columbus on Thursday and a three-to-one comeback.

Over the hurricanes on Sunday, fans are buzzing with the Canadians tweeting it up

and Habs Nation lighting up social media.

That hot streak has Montreal sitting third in the Atlantic Division,

just four points back of Tampa Bay in Buffalo, keeping their playoff push alive.

Meanwhile, Boston Center Pawel Zucker earned second star with five goals and three assists over four games.

Anaheim defenseman John Carlson took third,

dishing seven assists in three outings.

Dobs is proving he's no fluke, and with the Canadians rolling,

keep an eye on this kid as they chase that division spot.

That's the story for today.
