We have a small change to announce to the stat line of the young Montreal Canadiens goaltender, Jacob Fowler.
But in the end, and it's quite rare to see this, three saves were added to the young Fowler's stat line. So it's officially a 36-save game on 38 shots for Fowler!
It is ultimately a 36-save performance on 38 shots for Jacob Fowler, as the NHL has changed the statistics and added three saves to his stat line
What a performance by the youngster!
"Jacob Fowler made 36 saves in his NHL debut and the offense was firing on all cylinders in a big win over the Pens on Thursday."
- Montreal Canadiens
- Montreal Canadiens
Let's also recall the special locker room scene after the game between Martin St-Louis and Jacob Fowler.
We can therefore say that Fowler, who is 21 years old, a 6-foot-2, 213-pound goaltender, a third-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2023 (69th overall), has a 1-0-0 career record in the NHL, with a goals-against average of 2.01 and a save percentage of .947.
The 2.01 is a bit strange, but hey, that's really what the official numbers say.
In any case, it was certainly a successful NHL debut for Fowler.
