Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Drawing start Thursday
Fowler will start Thursday's road game against Boston, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.
Following a seven-game winning streak to close out October, Fowler has been slightly more inconsistent in early November, going 1-0-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .909 save percentage across his three outings to begin the month. However, he's slated to draw a third consecutive start Thursday in what will be a tough matchup against the Bruins, who rank fifth in the league with 3.72 goals per game this year.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Takes tough loss in OT
Fowler made 22 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.
Fowler put on a goaltending clinic with Jesper Wallstedt through the first two periods, as the two young netminders stopped all 32 shots they faced between them. Bobby Brink finally opened the scoring early in the third after picking Josh Anderson's pocket at the Minnesota blue line for a clear breakaway on Fowler, and there wasn't much the 21-year-old goalie could do on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winner, a power-play tally that came on a one-timer from the faceoff dot. Fowler hasn't been saddled with a regulation loss since Oct. 8, going a remarkable 8-0-2 over his last 10 starts with a 2.05 GAA and .930 save percentage as he locks down the top spot in the Montreal crease.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Facing Wild Tuesday
Fowler will guard the home net in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Fowler bounced back nicely in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs, where he made 26 saves. Overall, the 21-year-old backstop has been making a case for the Calder Trophy, as he's compiled an 8-1-1 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .925 save percentage across 10 outings this season. He's made the most of his opportunity since being called up from AHL Laval at the start of the season. He's a strong No. 2 goalie option in all fantasy formats moving forward, including Tuesday's matchup against the Maple Leafs.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Calder Trophy fave impresses again
Fowler made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Fowler was perfect until the 6:19 mark of the third period and then allowed two goals in 55 seconds. Cue the trauma of Tuesday's collapse against Winnipeg, but he and the team pulled themselves together for the victory. Fowler is 8-1-1, including 8-0-1 in his past nine games. Braden Holtby was the last rookie goalie age 21 years or younger with a nine-point streak (2010-11) . At this point in the season, Fowler has to be the favorite for the Calder Trophy as best rookie. His 2.15 GAA is seventh in the NHL and most impressively, his .925 save percentage is third overall.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Facing Maple Leafs
Fowler will guard the road net in Saturday's clash against the Maple Leafs, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Fowler will look to shake off Tuesday's historic loss, as the Habs' defense fell apart down the stretch to allow the Jets to steal a 5-4 win in overtime. Thursday's outing was one of the only knocks on an impressive season for Fowler, who has compiled a 7-1-1 record, a 2.17 GAA, two shutouts and a .925 save percentage over nine appearances. He remains a solid fantasy option in all formats given his hot start to the season. Despite the tough matchup, start the 21-year-old netminder with confidence Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Suffers crushing loss Tuesday
Fowler stopped 42 of 47 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.
Fowler appeared headed for a shutout before Winnipeg scored four times in the final 2:39 of regulation, eventually completing its comeback in overtime. The young netminder faced substantial pressure throughout the contest, finishing with 42 saves despite the disappointing result. His heavy workload offers potential fantasy value in save-based formats, and one bad outing -- with an unlikely and unexpected comeback -- shouldn't affect Fowler's fantasy upside. Before Tuesday's loss, he was riding a seven-game winning streak, posting a 1.67 GAA and a .941 save percentage.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Set to face Jets
Fowler will guard the home goal in Tuesday's clash against the Jets, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Despite having his shakiest outing of the 2026-27 campaign Saturday, Fowler did enough to hold on for his seventh consecutive win. The 21-year-old netminder has been phenomenal otherwise, compiling a 7-1-0 record, a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage across eight appearances this season. As he's set to face the Jets, who currently rank 30th in the NHL with 2.27 goals per game this season, in Tuesday's clash, Fowler is a must-start in all fantasy formats given his recent hot streak.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Allows four goals in win
Fowler stopped 25 of 29 shots in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Penguins.
Fowler extended his winning streak to seven games, but it wasn't a great performance for the young goalie. The four goals allowed were a season high, though that shouldn't endanger his status as the No. 1 goalie in Montreal. He's 7-1-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage across eight starts this season, and he's already logged two shutouts. The Canadiens' next game is Tuesday at home versus the slumping Jets, which would be an elite matchup if Fowler gets the start.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Between pipes Saturday
Fowler will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Fowler has stopped 165 of 173 shots during his six-game winning streak. He owns a 6-1-0 record, a 1.54 GAA and a .942 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Pittsburgh (5-6-2) ranks 13th in the league with 3.23 goals per game during the 2026-27 campaign.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Ascension continues
Fowler made 46 saves in a 2-0 win over the Blues on Tuesday.
It was an NHL-career high save total for the rising netminder. Fowler now has two shutouts this season and three in his short career. He has allowed one goal or fewer in each of his last three starts. Fowler is in a real groove.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Getting third straight start
Fowler will guard the road crease in Tuesday's clash against the Blues.
Fowler has been excellent to begin the 2026-27 campaign, as he's currently riding a five-game win streak. He'll be called upon for his third straight start in Tuesday's outing and has seemingly passed Jakub Dobes on the Habs' goalie depth chart. The 21-year-old Fowler currently has a 5-1-0 record, a 1.79 GAA, a shutout and a .924 save percentage across six appearances this season. He'll be matched up against the Blues on Tuesday, who were recently shut out by the Hurricanes. Fowler is an excellent start in all fantasy formats for Tuesday's clash.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Shines in Heritage Classic
Fowler stopped 33 of 34 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Jets in the Heritage Classic.
The outdoor lights weren't too bright for Fowler, who extended his winning streak to five games with a tight victory at Winnipeg's Princess Auto Stadium. This was his second start in a row allowing just one goal. He's quickly pushed Jakub Dobes into the backup role through strong play. Fowler is 5-1-0 with a 1.79 GAA and a .924 save percentage over six starts. He's the goalie of the future for the Canadiens, and it looks like the future is now. Montreal continues its road trip in St. Louis on Tuesday.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Starting against Winnipeg
Fowler will draw the start in Sunday's road game against Winnipeg, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Fowler is in the midst of a four-game winning streak, and he'll draw the start in a second consecutive matchup Sunday. Across his five appearances to begin the regular season, the 21-year-old has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Strengthening grip on top job
Fowler stopped 20 of 21 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
This was Fowler's fourth straight win. The 21-year-old netminder had started three of the Canadiens' last five games in an alternating pattern with Jakub Dobes, who has struggled to start the year. Fowler is now 4-1-0 with a 1.94 GAA and a .910 save percentage over five starts. The Canadiens' road trip continues in Winnipeg on Sunday, and it'll be interesting to see if head coach Martin St. Louis continues to alternate goalies or opts to let Fowler run with the job a bit.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Starting against Chicago
Fowler will start Friday's road matchup against Chicago.
Fowler is in the midst of a three-game winning streak, and he'll draw the start for just the second time in the Canadiens' last four games Friday as he's shared the crease with Jakub Dobes early in the year. Across his four appearances to begin the regular season, Fowler has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.16 GAA and .900 save percentage.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Makes 23 saves in overtime victory
Fowler stopped 23 of 26 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.
Fowler secured his second victory against Buffalo in five days despite posting a modest save percentage. The young netminder has now started four of Montreal's last five games, suggesting he's establishing himself as a significant part of the team's goaltending rotation, although the uptick in playing time is also driven by the absence of Sam Montembeault (lower body). His recent workload is encouraging for fantasy managers seeking starts and wins, although his performance Saturday highlights the potential volatility in his save percentage. He has a shutout in four outings, but in the other three, he's not posted a save percentage above .885.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Tending twine Saturday
Fowler will protect the home net against Buffalo on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Fowler is 2-1-0 in his first NHL outings this season, stopping 59 of 65 shots. He has both of his wins in shootouts. Buffalo (4-3-1) is tied for 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this campaign.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Hangs on for shootout win
Fowler turned aside 14 shots in regulation and overtime and one of two shootout attempts in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sabres.
The Canadiens took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but goals by Josh Norris and Olen Zellweger in a 61-second span early in the frame made the final outcome dicey. Fowler didn't have much to do once the horn sounded to end the third, however -- he didn't face a shot in OT, then watched Montreal's skaters go 3-for-3 in the shootout. The 21-year-old netminder has started three straight games since being called up from AHL Laval, going 2-1-0 with a 1.90 GAA and .908 save percentage, a marked improvement on Jakub Dobes' 4.43 GAA and .856 save percentage in his three starts. Habs coach Martin St. Louis may continue to ride the hot hand between the pipes, and if Fowler keeps playing well, the team could have some tough decisions to make when Sam Montembeault (lower body) is ready to return.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Facing Sabres Tuesday
Fowler will guard the home crease in Tuesday's clash against the Sabres, per Marc Antoine Godin of Radio-Canada.
Fowler will look to stay hot after his 30-save shutout in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Red Wings. Entering Tuesday's matchup, the 21-year-old netminder has a 1-1-0 record, a 1.45 GAA and a .938 save percentage across 48 shots on net between two appearances. He should continue to see frequent appearances with Sam Montembeault (lower body) on injured reserve. Fowler will face off against a Sabres offense that has struggled to begin the new season with 2.67 goals per game, which makes him a solid start in fantasy.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Records shutout in SO victory
Fowler stopped all 30 shots he faced in Saturday's 1-0 shootout win over the Red Wings.
Just like Daniil Tarasov, Fowler was perfect through regulation and overtime en route to posting a 30-save performance. The young netminder turned aside 20 even-strength shots and 10 power-play shots, and his excellent play allowed the Canadiens to earn the win in the shootout, as Zachary Bolduc eventually secured the victory with a sixth-round shootout goal. Fowler could continue to see playing time due to Sam Montembeault's lower-body injury.
