Despite earning a point, the Calgary Flames’ losing skid hit seven games on Wednesday night, falling 2–1 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames are now 0-6-1 in their last seven contests.

The Canadiens have opted to start Dobes versus the Flames, rather than their usual starter Samuel Montembeault. Dobes is off to a fantastic start this season, punctuated by a perfect 3-0 record, as well as a sparkling 0.939 save percentage, miles ahead of Montembeault’s save percentage, which is currently just 0.857.
