Here we go!
Jacob Fowler, 20 years old, is a 6-foot-2, 214-pound goaltender who was a 3rd-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2023 (69th overall).
He signed his NHL entry-level contract with the Habs last spring, and he played 11 games with the Laval Rocket:
- Record of 2-1-0, goals-against average of 2.32 and save percentage of .914 in the regular season.
- Record of 3-3-0, goals-against average of 2.48 and save percentage of .902 in the AHL playoffs.
It remains to be seen if Fowler will play the entire game (tomorrow), but one thing is certain: he's getting the start, and I personally can't wait to see him in action.
