We just received an unexpected announcement involving the young Montreal Canadiens goaltender, Jacob Fowler.
This follows an incident that occurred last night during the NCAA matchup between the Boston College Eagles and the University of Connecticut Huskies.
Immediate Suspension for Jacob Fowler
See the official announcement at the bottom of this article, but the Canadiens' top goaltending prospect has been handed a rather severe sanction.
«Jacob Fowler has been suspended for one game for punching a player who collided with him last night.
He will be ineligible to play next Tuesday, November 19, against Providence.
He will be eligible to return next Friday, November 22, against Northeastern.»

Fowler delivered a direct blocker strike to an opponent's face, which led to his ejection from the game. He lost his composure.
Watch the incident in question here:
We didn't see this coming, but at least Fowler, who plays nearly every game for Boston College, will get a brief night off.
Nineteen-year-old Jacob Fowler boasts a 7-1-0 record this season with Boston College, a goals-against average of 1.26, and an incredible .950 save percentage.
Personally, I appreciate seeing the young player compete with emotion, but it's clear that such outbursts need to be kept in check. His performance is crucial to his team's success.
