Dobeš Denies Thompson With A Big Stop for Montreal

Montreal gets a real-life goaltending moment here, the kind that can change a shift in a hurry. Dobeš tracks Tage Thompson and closes the door, and that is the sort of save that keeps a bench breathing and a game from tilting. On a night like this, one clean denial can feel bigger than the shot itself, because Buffalo’s top threats do not need many looks to make you pay.
