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.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Tending twine Saturday
Fowler will guard the home crease in Saturday's clash with the Red Wings, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Fowler will have the opportunity to tidy things up Saturday after he yielded three goals in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Nashville. Montreal likely wants to see an extended showcase of what the 21-year-old netminder can currently provide to the team, as he was called up from AHL Laval due to Sam Montembeault's lower body injury. Fowler proved that he can be effective at the NHL level last season, where he compiled a 9-6-2 record, a 2.43 GAA, a .908 save percentage and a shutout across 17 regular-season appearances. Saturday's clash is an opportune spot for the young netminder to get back on track, as the Red Wings have won just one of their four contests to open the new season. Therefore, Fowler is one of the top streaming options between the pipes ahead of Saturday's busy slate of games.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Yields three goals Thursday
Fowler turned away 15 of 18 shots on net in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Predators.
Fowler's first start of the 2026-27 regular season left some to be desired, but he performed better than the final score indicates due to a pair of empty-net tallies in the final moments of regulation. The 21-year-old netminder tended to a clean first period, a solid first 15 minutes of the second period, and a tidy first 16 and a half minutes of the third before he allowed the go-ahead goal. With Sam Montembeault (undisclosed) undergoing further testing to reveal the extent of his injury, Fowler projects to play a complementary role to Jakub Dobes for the time being. Fowler just missed out on making the Canadiens' Opening Night roster, so if he can impress while he's up from AHL Laval, he could cement his NHL roster spot moving forward.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Starting against Nashville
Fowler will start Thursday's home game against the Predators, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Fowler was called up by the Canadiens on Wednesday, and his starting nod against the Predators suggests that Sam Montembeault (undisclosed) won't be available Thursday. Fowler made 17 regular-season appearances for Montreal last year, going 9-6-2 with a 2.43 GAA and .908 save percentage.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Promoted from AHL
Fowler was summoned by the Canadiens on Wednesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Fowler has a 1.53 GAA and a .945 save percentage in three appearances with AHL Laval this season. He's up from the minors because Sam Montembeault sustained an undisclosed injury during Wednesday's practice. It remains to be seen who will start at home against Nashville on Thursday.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Stops 16 of 18 shots Saturday
Fowler stopped 16 of 18 shots in Saturday's 4-2 preseason win over the Senators.
Both goals against Fowler came on Ottawa power plays in the opening period. Philip Tomasino opened the scoring at 11:54 before Tyler Boucher restored the Senators' lead at 19:19, with Montreal answering each time to send the game into the first intermission tied 2-2. Fowler remained perfect through his second-period stretch before giving way to Sam Montembeault at 10:43, and the Canadiens scored twice in the third to secure the win. The Canadiens have a crowded situation between the pipes, but it seems Fowler will open the season as the No. 2 goaltender -- ahead of Montembeault but behind Jakub Dobes.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Starting at home
Fowler is set to start at home against Ottawa in Saturday's preseason game, per the NHL media site.
Fowler had a 9-6-2 record, 2.43 GAA and .908 save percentage in 17 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Jakub Dobes is slated to begin the upcoming campaign as Montreal's No. 1 goaltender, while Fowler and Sam Montembeault might both make the team and pick up starts when Dobes needs a breather.
