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, a 21-year-old goaltender, has been recalled from the AHL’s Laval Rocket by the Montreal Canadiens. This decision comes as the Canadiens prepare for their matchup against the Senators on March 11, 2026.
Fowler previously played 10 games for the Canadiens earlier this season, where he registered a 4-4-2 record, a .903 save percentage, and a 2.62 goals-against average. His performance during that stint showcased his potential at the NHL level.
He made his NHL debut on December 11, 2025, and has since gained valuable experience. In addition to his time with the Canadiens, Fowler has made 27 appearances with the Laval Rocket this season, where he has excelled with a .916 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against average.
Fowler returned to play with the Rocket on March 6 in a 4-2 win over Rochester after recovering from an upper-body injury. His return to form has likely contributed to the Canadiens’ decision to recall him.
Drafted by the Canadiens in the third round in 2023, Fowler’s development has been closely monitored by the organization. His ability to perform under pressure will be tested as he steps back into the NHL against a divisional rival.
The Canadiens will be looking to secure a win against the Senators, and Fowler’s performance will be crucial in achieving that goal. Fans are eager to see how he will fare in this important matchup.
As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Fowler as he aims to make a significant impact in his return to the NHL.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further roster changes or the team’s strategy for the game.
