“Dobes was unreal as Canadiens overcome 2-0 deficit to beat Hurricanes,” remarked an observer following the game on March 24, 2026, at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The Montreal Canadiens displayed resilience, coming back to win 5-2 against the Carolina Hurricanes after initially falling behind.
The Hurricanes struck early, scoring two goals within the first seven minutes of the game. Nikolaj Ehlers opened the scoring with a power play goal, followed by Jordan Staal doubling the lead shortly after. However, the Canadiens refused to give up, rallying to score four consecutive goals.
Jakub Dobes was instrumental in the victory, making an impressive 41 saves on 43 shots, which included several critical stops that kept the Canadiens in the game. His performance was highlighted by the fact that the Hurricanes outshot the Canadiens 42-19 throughout the match.
Cole Caufield added to his season tally, netting his 44th goal, while Oliver Kapanen contributed significantly with two goals in the game. The Canadiens’ ability to respond after being down 2-0 showcased their determination and skill.
“The Canadiens could have easily packed it in after the way the game started, but they refused to give up,” noted a source close to the team. This attitude was evident as they turned the game around, ultimately securing their victory.
With this win, the Canadiens improved their standing to 88 points in the season, a crucial factor as they continue to vie for a playoff spot. They have one more home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets before embarking on a challenging five-game road trip.
Fred Andersen, the Hurricanes’ goaltender, faced 18 shots and allowed four goals, a performance that fell short of expectations given the team’s strong start. The Hurricanes will need to regroup as they prepare for their next matchup.
