JACOB FOWLER NEWS

Beats Pens in NHL debut Fowler made 36 saves in a 4-2 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday. It was his NHL debut.

Impact The Pens didn't solve him until the third period, and the second goal came on a late power play. In other words, Fowler was exceptional. "I mean, I could have played anywhere tonight," Fowler said after the game. "And to get your first win, it's going to be special. But been to a lot of games here. Grew up a Pittsburgh fan. (Sidney) Crosby and (Marc-Andre) Fleury were my favorite players growing up." Fowler made seven saves on Crosby. The 21-year-old Fowler was selected in the third round (No. 69) of the 2023 NHL Draft. He is considered the Habs' goalie of the future.

Brought up from AHL Fowler was recalled from AHL Laval on Tuesday.

Impact The Canadiens are apparently fed up with the poor performances of Sam Montembeault and Jakub Dobes, and will put some pressure on both goalies by calling up Fowler. In 15 AHL games this season, Fowler has gone 10-5-0 with a 2.09 GAA and a .919 save percentage, and he's already amassed three shutouts. His first appearance will be his NHL debut.

Collects third shutout Fowler recorded a 26-save shutout in AHL Laval's 2-0 win over Providence on Sunday.

Impact Fowler has three shutouts over nine games this season. He's posted a 6-3-0 record with a 2.01 GAA and a .924 save percentage across nine games in his first full professional season. He had some trouble early in the season, but he's allowed two goals or less in six straight outings. Fowler will be given plenty of time to adjust to professional hockey before he's pressed into action for the Canadiens.

Earns second shutout of AHL season Fowler posted a 17-save shutout in AHL Laval's 3-0 win over Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Fowler is 3-2-0 in the AHL to begin the year, and two of his wins have come via shutout. The 20-year-old netminder has added a 2.40 GAA and a .902 save percentage. A little more consistency would be a good sign, but he is an AHL rookie, so it's fair to expect some volatility in his performance as he gets used to the professional ranks.

Shuts out Abbotsford Fowler posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Laval's 3-0 win over Abbotsford on Friday.

Impact Fowler lost his AHL season debut last weekend, but he bounced back in a big way with his first shutout in just his fifth minor-league game. The 20-year-old netminder will likely share the crease with Kaapo Kahkonen this year, though the Canadiens will want Fowler to get as much work as possible. He's one of the top goalie prospects, but with Sam Montembeault entrenched in the No. 1 role in Montreal, the big club has no need to rush Fowler's development.
