The Montreal Canadiens are running it back with Jakub Dobes.
The team announced that Dobes will start on Sunday against the St. Louis Blues, with go-to goalie Samuel Montembeault unable to participate in the game due to illness. Kaapo Kahkonen has been recalled from the Laval Rocket to support, if needed.
This will be Dobes' second start in as many days after he helped the Canadians pull off a 2-1 shootout win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.
Dobes has 10 wins over 15 games this season and boasts a .895 save percentage.
Kahkonen has yet to appear in an NHL game this season. The 29-year-old only played one NHL game last season while he was with the Colorado Avalanche.
The Canadiens will host the Blues at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sunday.
