With a year of professional hockey under his belt, Dobeš came out of the gates strong in the 2024-25 season, posting a 9-3-1 start to the season before he was called up to the NHL by Montreal on Dec. 27. Dobeš made a memorable NHL debut the next night at Florida, shutting out the defending Stanley Cup champs, becoming the fourth goaltender in Canadiens history to record a shutout in their debut.

With the victory over the Panthers, Dobeš became the seventh goaltender to defeat the defending NHL champs in their debut.

Dobeš dream start to his NHL career would continue when he became the first goalie in Montreal history to allow just one goal in his first two starts, his 3-0-0 record tied Bob Perreault as the only Canadiens goaltender to allow three goals or less in his first three starts, he joined Charlie Lindgren as the first goaltender to go on the road and win their first four career starts, and he was the 13th player in NHL history to win their first five starts between the pipes.

At the end of the regular season, Dobeš was 7-4-3 with a 2.74 goals against average and a .909 save percentage in 16 games played.

Montreal snuck into the Eastern Conference Playoffs by earning the second wild card spot, drawing the top-seeded Washington Capitals in the first round. After losing the first two games of the series to Alex Ovechkin and then Capitals, Montreal returned home on Friday night.

Midway through the game, starting goaltender Sam Montembeault was injured, resulting in Dobeš stepping in. The former Buckeye allowed just one goal in 28 minutes in the 6-3 win by the Canadiens.

Montembeault’s injury was serious enough that it didn’t allow the starter to play in Sunday’s game, which allowed Dobeš to make his first start in the NHL Playoffs. Unfortunately Dobeš wasn’t as sharp as he was on Friday night, giving up three goals on 24 shots in the 5-2 loss, which gave Washington a 3-1 lead in the series.

With Montreal’s season on the line in tonight’s game, Montembeault’s status isn’t yet known, as he is listed as day-to-day. If Montembeault isn’t cleared to play, Dobeš will get the start and will hope to channel some of his dominance on the road from the regular season as the series moves back to Washington.

Alijah Arenas 'walking, talking,' to be released from hospital​

Alijah Arenas, a basketball recruit for USC and son of former NBA star Gilbert Arenas, is expected to be released from the hospital with no major injuries following a fiery single-car crash early Thursday morning, according to a statement made on Gilbert Arenas' podcast.

"Happy to announce that Alijah is doing much better," Josiah Johnson, one of the hosts of "Gil's Arena," said during the show Monday. "Just got off the phone with Gil. ... Alijah's doing better, walking, talking, progressing very well, should be released from the hospital very soon. No major injuries as a result of the car accident."

Johnson said Alijah Arenas, 18, was driving back from the gym when he "lost control" of the Tesla Cybertruck he was driving in the Reseda area of the San Fernando Valley. According to the L.A. Fire Department, the vehicle crashed into a tree and/or fire hydrant. Video obtained by TMZ shows the front of Arenas' vehicle on fire after the crash, with two people attempting to help remove him from the truck while water sprays from a damaged fire hydrant.

I'm shocked that nobody drafted Seth. He was the best center in CFB until his injury and could have been had for a 6th or 7th-round contract. Even if he doesn't play this year it's like trading a 7th-round pick this year for a 2nd-round pick next year. Any GM in the league would make that deal. The Bengals will probably end up paying more over the next 4 years than if they had just drafted him late.
