Jakub Dobes has always been successful in the series

Basically, there’s one thing to remember about Dobes in the big moments: he’s even better when he’s tested more.

And that’s just as well, because the Capitals are dangerous and can easily challenge the young goalie.

In the USHL playoffs, while with the Omaha Lancers, he posted a 2.10 goals-against average and a 0.923 save percentage in two games.

His playoff performances also carried over to the NCAA regional tournaments (prior to the famous Frozen Four).

At Ohio State, Dobes was the team’s best asset.

In three games against Penn State in 2022, Dobes allowed eight goals on 125 shots (.936). Ohio State was at a significant disadvantage for this series, but Dobes kept his club in it.

Of the three games, Dobes stole one, in which he faced nearly 50 shots.

The following year, his final season in the NCAA, Ohio State advanced to the semi-finals with two wins in three games against Penn State.

Ohio State eventually lost to the mighty Wolverines of the University of Michigan (Michael Hage’s current club).

In short, CH fans can rest easy knowing that Dobes performs very well under pressure, even more so when he’s taking a lot of shots.

What’s more, we need only think of Dobes’ first five games in his NHL debut, when he was exceptional.

Let’s see what he has in store for us tonight, in game #4.
