What happened: Marc Denis, Sean Campbell, and Shaun Starr discussed on TSN 690 whether Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes squandered an opportunity in a 5-4 regular-season loss to the Washington Capitals.

Why it matters: With Montreal navigating a Sam Montembeault injury and weighing Jacob Fowler's readiness, every crease appearance carries immediate roster weight. Giving up five goals at Capital One Arena leaves the backup hierarchy unsettled early in the 2026-27 campaign.

What to watch: Montreal's coaching staff will determine the next starting assignment as the club continues its early regular-season slate.
