MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens return to the Bell Centre and the most electric playoff atmosphere in hockey for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final against the Carolina Hurricanes with a burden, despite gaining a road split to open the series and now holding home-ice advantage.The burden is that the Canadiens have not used that home ice and that electric playoff atmosphere to their advantage, holding a 2-4 record in the playoffs at the Bell Centre — something they are looking to change in Game 3 on Monday night.Captain Nick Suzuki spoke after an 8-3 loss in Game 6 against the Buffalo Sabres in the second round about how the special atmosphere in the building forces his young team into trying to do too much, getting away from the simplicity of their game that more often leads to success in the playoffs.But perhaps that is the wrong statistical benchmark to lean on here.The Canadiens are coming off a loss in Game 2 to Carolina, a loss that could have very easily been a win, but a loss nonetheless. Since the start of the playoffs, and even a month longer than that, the Canadiens have yet to lose consecutive games.And a big reason for that is rookie goalie Jakub Dobeš.When Suzuki was talking about the Canadiens’ difficulties on home ice, he referred to how playing in that environment takes getting used to and that the young Canadiens are still learning how to manage that incredible energy and resist the temptation to do too much.Well, for a goalie, performing after a loss is also supposed to take getting used to. It’s also supposed to require experience. And yet Dobeš is getting it done at a historic rate.Since the advent of the salary cap in 2005, only two rookie goalies have played as many playoff games in a single year as Dobeš’ 16 this season without suffering consecutive losses this deep into the playoffs.The first of those goalies was Cam Ward in 2006, who came into a first-round series against the Canadiens and eliminated them en route to winning the Stanley Cup with current Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour as captain. Ward did lose consecutive games in that playoff run, but they didn’t come until his 21st and 22nd starts of the playoffs, games 5 and 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, before winning Game 7.The other was Matt Murray, who led the Pittsburgh Penguins to the 2016 Stanley Cup without once losing consecutive games in his first 21 career playoff starts.The next is Dobeš.End of list.
