Sharp in Wednesday's win Fowler made 28 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

Impact Joel Farabee spoiled his shutout bid late in the second period by sneaking a shot through a screen, but otherwise Fowler had an answer for everything Calgary fired his way. The 21-year-old netminder has allowed two goals or fewer in four of his last five starts, going 3-1-1 with a dazzling 1.80 GAA and .930 save percentage over that stretch as he pushes for the top spot in the Habs' current three-man committee in the crease -- Sam Montembeault and Jakub Dobes have made just two starts each during that time.

In goal Wednesday Fowler will get the starting nod at home versus the Flames on Wednesday, Patrick Frioley of RDS reports.

Impact Fowler has put together middling numbers in his seven NHL outings this year, posting a 3-2-2 record, 2.57 GAA and one shutout. With the 21-year-old netminder getting the nod Wednesday, Sam Montembeault could get the second of the back-to-back versus the Panthers at home Thursday.

Solid effort in loss Fowler stopped 17 of 19 shots on net in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Blues.

Impact Fowler tended a decent game, which included a scoreless third period, but was outdueled by Jordan Binnington in his shutout effort. With the loss, Fowler now holds a 3-2-2 record with a 2.57 GAA and a .903 save percentage through seven appearances this season. With Saturday's effort, he recorded his fourth game allowing two goals or less in just seven tries. The young netminder has held his own at the NHL level, with his record currently not as appealing due to Montreal's recent inconsistencies in finding the win column. He is a solid spot start in fantasy for the time being and is trending towards taking over the team's lead role between the pipes. Following Sunday's half of Montreal's back-to-back, Fowler has a solid chance to appear next in Wednesday's outing against the Flames.

Starting in St. Louis Fowler will defend the road net against the Blues on Saturday, per Canadiens beat reporter Priyanta Emrith.

Impact Fowler made 17 saves on 21 shots in a 5-4 shootout loss to Tampa Bay last Sunday. He has a 3-1-2 record while allowing 16 goals on 167 shots in six NHL appearances this season. St. Louis sits 32nd in the league with 2.50 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Tagged with shootout loss Fowler stopped 18 of 22 shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Lightning.

Impact Fowler has been very inconsistent from game to game, though that's to be expected for a goaltender with limited experience at the NHL level. Through his six starts, he's gone 3-1-2 with a 2.64 GAA and a .905 save percentage. However, even that number has been up and down. He's posted a save percentage of either at .920 (three games) or below .850 (three games). Fowler should remain as the Canadiens' No. 2 goaltender until Sam Montembeault takes playing time off him.

Starting Sunday Fowler will defend the road net against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Fowler has won his last two outings, stopping 57 of 59 shots during that span. He has gone 3-1-1 in five NHL appearances while allowing only 12 goals on 146 shots. Tampa Bay is tied for sixth in the league with 3.25 goals per game this year.

Cruises to third win Fowler made 26 saves in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Boston took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, but Fowler shut the door the rest of the way while the Montreal offense got rolling. The rookie netminder might just be the solution to the Habs' issues in net despite the fact that he just turned 21 in late November, and through his first five NHL starts he's gone 3-1-1 with a 2.39 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Set to start Tuesday Fowler is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Boston, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.

Impact Fowler is coming off his first career shutout Saturday against the Penguins, and he'll draw the start in the Canadiens' final game ahead of the holiday break. Across four starts for Montreal this year, Fowler has gone 2-1-1 with a 2.49 GAA and .915 save percentage.

Records first career shutout Fowler posted a 31-save shutout in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.

Impact Fowler was excellent between the posts and cruised to the first shutout of his career. He has recorded at least 30 saves in two of his first outings this season, and while he's been very inconsistent, he's a reliable backup for the time being. He's not expected to remain with the Canadiens for much longer, though, as he's likely to return to the AHL after Sam Montembeault returns from his conditioning assignment with AHL Laval, a move that's expected to occur Sunday.
