From @TSN690 - @MarcDenis_RDS joins @mckennaconor & @ShaunStarr78 to discuss the goaltending in Montreal, what Jakub Via @TSNHockey on X

What happened: Marc Denis assessed Montreal goaltending and Jakub Dobes's mindset alongside Connor McKenna and Shaun Starr on TSN 690. The focus was blown leads tied to repeated trips to the penalty box.

Why it matters: Blown leads turn close games into dropped points while early standings take shape. Heavy penalty minutes add workload on goaltenders and force choices on rotation and discipline.

What to watch: Upcoming games will test whether Montreal tightens third-period structure and stays out of the box. Goaltending decisions follow from that response.
