Demidov and Dobes Make All-Rookie Team

The Montreal Canadiens have achieved a significant milestone by having two players named to the NHL's All-Rookie Team for the 2025-26 season. Ivan Demidov led all rookies in scoring with 62 points, including 43 assists, and dominated the forward voting with 195 points.

Jakub Dobes excelled in net, securing 29 wins, which was the highest among rookie goaltenders, and he became just the fourth Canadiens goaltender to make the All-Rookie Team, joining legends like Patrick Roy and Carey Price.

This marks the first time in 40 years that the Canadiens have had two players on the All-Rookie Team, a feat previously accomplished in the 1980s. The recognition of Demidov and Dobes underscores the promising future of the franchise, highlighting the impact of their young talent.

According to Yahoo Sports, the last Canadiens player to be named to the All-Rookie Team was Brendan Gallagher in the 2012-13 season, demonstrating the significance of this achievement for the team and its fanbase.
