Hockey Fans, Mark Your Calendars! The Dallas Stars are making their first and only appearance in Montreal this season, and the Canadiens are gearing up for an electrifying showdown. But here’s where it gets intriguing: just 13 players showed up for the optional morning skate on November 13, 2025, leaving many to wonder about the team’s strategy. Among those hitting the ice were standout names like Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Nick Suzuki, alongside rising stars like Lane Hutson and Arber Xhekaj. And this is the part most people miss: Head Coach Martin St-Louis has already confirmed that goaltender Jakub Dobes will be between the pipes for this highly anticipated matchup. But here’s the controversial twist: Is Dobes the right choice for such a critical game? Some fans argue that Sam Montembeault, who’s been solid this season, might have been a safer bet. What do you think? Let’s spark a debate in the comments! The puck drops at 7:00 p.m. ET, and if you’re not already planning to be there, tickets are still available.
