A big rumor is currently circulating in Pittsburgh ahead of the game between the Penguins and the Montreal Canadiens.
While Martin St-Louis spoke yesterday like a coach who had absolutely no intention of immediately throwing his young goaltender Jacob Fowler into the mix, everything indicates that the plan has changed.
See what journalist Eric Engels posted in the last few hours.
"Just landed in Pittsburgh, where I fully expect to see Jacob Fowler make his NHL debut vs. the Penguins."

Wow. The plan therefore seems to have changed yet again!
A first career game for Jacob Fowler with the Montreal Canadiens
Everything now suggests that Fowler will be the starting goaltender in Pittsburgh, and it will be very interesting to watch! Jacob Fowler, 21 years old, is a 6-foot-2, 213-pound goaltender who has a 10-5-0 record this season with the Laval Rocket, along with a goals-against average of 2.09 and a save percentage of 0.919.
He appears ready for the next step, and his confidence is going to be key!
Regarding tonight's game, we are still waiting for confirmation of the official lines, but rest assured that the Montreal Canadiens will make announcements today to confirm everything. Also note, still concerning goaltender Fowler, that he will wear number 32!
And you, what is your prediction for the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Pittsburgh Penguins?
