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 has been recalled from the AHL’s Laval Rocket by the Montreal Canadiens. This decision comes as the Canadiens look to bolster their roster during a busy schedule. Fowler, who is 21 years old, previously played 10 games for the Canadiens earlier this season.
During his earlier stint, Fowler registered a 4-4-2 record, with a .903 save percentage and a 2.62 goals-against average. His performance was a mix of solid outings and learning experiences as he adjusted to the demands of the NHL.
Fowler made his NHL debut on December 11, 2025, and since then, he has been working to establish himself as a reliable goaltender. He has made 27 appearances with the Laval Rocket this season, showcasing his skills and resilience.
In the AHL, Fowler has excelled, boasting a .916 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against average. His strong performance with the Rocket has undoubtedly contributed to his recall by the Canadiens.
Fowler returned to play with the Rocket on March 6 in a 4-2 win over Rochester after recovering from an upper-body injury. This return to form has been crucial as he prepares to face the Senators.
The Canadiens drafted Fowler in the third round in 2023, and he has since been seen as a promising prospect for the team’s future. His development has been closely monitored by fans and analysts alike.
As Fowler steps back into the NHL spotlight, all eyes will be on his performance against the Senators. The Canadiens hope that his recent success in the AHL will translate into a strong showing in the NHL.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further roster changes or the long-term plans for Fowler with the Canadiens.
