Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jakub Dobes definitely noticed the fans during his first-ever start at the Bell Centre on Sunday night. "I might play on the road because these guys are nuts," he joked after the Habs' 5-4 overtime victory over the New York Rangers.

Looking on at the other end was 23-year-old Jakub Dobes, who was making just his fifth career NHL start and his first on home ice. And yet, when the final horn sounded, it was the rookie netminder getting the better of the grizzled veteran as Dobes and the Canadiens defeated the New York Rangers 5-4 in a back-and-forth overtime thriller.
