Jakub Dobes not sold to Laval (unlike Cayden Primeau)

The Rocket was obviously expected to return to Laval before the announcement was made, and now that the two games abroad, in Cleveland, have been played and won, the two CH players can rejoin the Rocket.

This dismissal confirms what we already knew/thought, but it also tells us that, for the time being, Jakub Dobes won’t be joining the Rocket.

At least, that doesn’t seem to be in the plans, which means we’ll continue with only two options in front of the net, namely Jacob Fowler and Cayden Primeau.

Luke Cavallin is likely to be sent back to Trois-Rvières with the Lions, who are in the second round of the playoffs, while Connor Hughes is still injured.

Not having Dobes sent back to Laval means Fowler has less competition to keep his net.

The CH prospect has done very well so far, winning the first two games of the away series and recording his first professional shutout last night.

Of course, despite Primeau’s return, Fowler is expected to play in tomorrow’s Game 3 of the series, at 3 p.m. at Place Bell, since you don’t usually replace a goaltender who’s playing well and just earned a shutout.

However, Fowler won’t have the most leeway, given that Primeau is the one who took the club to the playoffs, so we won’t hesitate to turn to him if things go wrong.

But for now, Pascal Vincent is likely to continue with Fowler.

In short, it’s a great problem for the Rocket to have two very good goalkeepers.

On the move

– The Rocket is in a very good position.

– Not to be missed tonight.

– Good for the Senators.

– To be continued.
