Buffalo Sabres Top Montreal Canadiens 8-3 In Game 6 Blowout | Stanley Cup Playoffs

MAY 17 • YOUTUBE

Makes playoff debut Fowler allowed a goal on two shots in relief of Jakub Dobes in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres in Game 6.

Impact Fowler hadn't appeared in a game since he backstopped a 4-1 win over the Islanders on April 12. The 21-year-old rookie played the last half of the third period, aside from a stretch where the Canadiens opted for an extra attacker before Tage Thompson's empty-net goal. Fowler could have been with AHL Laval during its playoff run, but he instead stayed in the NHL, though it's been Dobes' crease this postseason. Fowler still has some work to do to be an NHL regular, but he should earn some starts for Montreal in 2026-27 after going 9-6-2 with a 2.43 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 17 regular-season outings this year.

Strong outing vs. NYI Fowler stopped 30 of 31 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Fowler got the starting nod for this one and delivered a strong showing across the board, with the lone goal he allowed coming midway through the third period when Montreal already had a three-goal lead. Fowler should remain as Montreal's No. 2 option between the posts, so he's not likely to see action in the regular-season finale at Philadelphia on Tuesday. He owns a 9-6-2 record with a 2.43 GAA and .908 save percentage through 17 appearances this season, which are impressive numbers for a 21-year-old rookie.

Drawing start Sunday Fowler will start Sunday's road game against the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Fowler hasn't appeared in any of the Canadiens' last three games, but he'll draw the start in the team's penultimate regular-season game. Across two starts this month, he's gone 1-1-0 with a 2.04 GAA and .907 save percentage.

Not starting after all Contrary to a prior report, Fowler is not expected to be in goal against the Panthers on Tuesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Lavoie is now reporting that Jakub Dobes was the first goaltender to leave the ice at the morning skate. With Fowler seemingly not being the starter for Tuesday's game, his next opportunity to tend the twine will be against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

First off ice Tuesday Fowler is scheduled to occupy the home crease Tuesday against the Panthers, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Fowler's three-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the Devils on Sunday, as he conceded two goals on 19 shots in a 3-0 loss. The 21-year-old is the preferred No. 2 option for the Canadiens these days, as Sam Montembeault hasn't been in goal since March 6 in Anaheim. As for Tuesday's opponent, Florida sits 20th in the NHL with 2.92 goals per game this season.

Gets no help in loss Fowler stopped 17 of 19 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Devils. The third goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Canadiens weren't able to generate any goals in the second half of a back-to-back, leaving Fowler on the hook for the loss. The 21-year-old had won three straight games entering Sunday, allowing just six goals on 70 shots during the streak. The 21-year-old is down to 8-6-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 16 starts. Fowler and Jakub Dobes are sharing the crease lately, so expect Dobes to get the nod Tuesday versus the Panthers.

Tending twine Sunday Fowler will protect the home net against the Devils on Sunday, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Impact Fowler will get the back half of this home-and-home set with the Devils, as Jakub Dobes played in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win. Fowler has won three straight games and four of his last five, making 120 saves on 132 shots (.909 save percentage) during that time. The Devils are 19-19-0 on the road this season.

Third straight victory Fowler made 21 saves in a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Thursday.

Impact Fowler carried a shutout until the 9:23 mark of the third period when Adam Fox put the puck past him when he was down on the ice. He has won three consecutive games with just six goals against in that span (.914 save percentage). Fowler is the Habs' star of the future, and he's starting to flex those muscles now.

In goal against Rangers Fowler will get the starting nod on the road versus the Rangers on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Fowler has looked fairly solid over his last four outings, going 3-1-0 with a 2.52 GAA. It seems the young backstop has replaced Sam Montembeault as the No.2 option behind Jakub Dobes. With an upcoming back-to-back against the Devils on Saturday and Sunday, Fowler figures to get at least one more start down the stretch.

Makes 23 saves in win Fowler stopped 23 of 24 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Fowler was on his way to a shutout until he allowed a goal from Zachary L'Heureux, who was finding the back of the net just for the second time in 2025-26, at the 16:26 mark of the final frame. Still, this was another strong showing for Fowler, who has won three of his last four NHL outings despite being just 21 years old. Furthermore, he's allowed just six goals on 80 shots during those three wins. As good as he's looked of late, Fowler remains a matchup-based play since Jakub Dobes is the clear No. 1 option between the posts for Montreal.

Impact Fowler wasn't at his best, but he got more than enough help thanks to a strong game from the Canadiens' top line.

Montreal's crease work has been split between Fowler and Jakub Dobes for the last two weeks after Sam Montembeault took a tough shootout loss March 6 versus the Ducks.
