Fowler Set to Start Against Senators
“Fowler will start against the Ottawa Senators at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT on Sportsnet with the Canadiens on the second night of a back-to-back,” the team announced.
Jacob Fowler, a 21-year-old goaltender, has been recalled from the AHL’s Laval Rocket by the Montreal Canadiens. This marks a significant moment in his young career, as he prepares to take the ice against a divisional rival.
Fowler’s previous stint with the Canadiens earlier this season included 10 games, where he recorded a 4-4-2 record, a .903 save percentage, and a 2.62 goals-against average. His performance has shown promise, contributing to the team’s depth in goal.
He made his NHL debut on December 11, 2025, and has since been developing his skills with the Laval Rocket. This season, he has made 27 appearances with the Rocket, boasting an impressive .916 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against average.
Fowler’s return to the Rocket on March 6 was marked by a solid performance in a 4-2 victory over Rochester, following a recovery from an upper-body injury. His ability to bounce back has been a positive sign for the Canadiens.
Drafted by the Canadiens in the third round of the 2023 NHL Draft, Fowler has been viewed as a key part of the team’s future. His development in the AHL has been closely monitored, and this recall is a testament to his progress.
As the Canadiens face the Senators, the team will be looking to leverage Fowler’s skills in goal to secure a crucial win. The matchup is particularly important as both teams vie for playoff positioning.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further roster changes or the long-term plans for Fowler with the Canadiens. However, his performance tonight could play a pivotal role in shaping his future with the team.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Fowler takes the ice, hoping to see a strong performance that could solidify his place in the NHL.
