This edition of the Hidden Game is dedicated to Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis — and, for that matter, goaltender Jakub Dobes.
We thought St. Louis had lost his mind when he decided to start Dobes against the Dallas Stars on Thursday night.
Forget for a moment what Jacob Fowler accomplished this week. The inconsistent Dobes hadn’t won a game since the season opener on Sept. 29 at Toronto. Dobes has not played since Oct. 20 and was coming off four consecutive losses, during which he had allowed 20 goals.
