The young goaltender Jacob Fowler keeps rolling with another incredible performance against the Providence Bruins.
I know it's not ideal for the Montreal Canadiens these days, but at least we can see something positive in Laval!
It really feels like every Rocket game brings a new little story, but the one in Providence on Sunday had something truly special.
Jacob Fowler, who is only 20 years old, once again found a way to keep his team in the game.
The Bruins tried all afternoon, fired from everywhere, but nothing managed to get through the Fowler wall.
You can feel that something is happening with him. Even if no one knows yet how far he can go, he's rock solid.
The game stayed close for a very long time. And despite everything, Fowler stayed calm, and his team came out with the win.

According to a game recap published by RDS, Fowler turned aside all 26 shots he faced, a performance that puts him among the league leaders in several statistics.

The first goal came from Joe Dunlap after a nice pass from William Trudeau. Then Laurent Dauphin closed the books with the empty-netter.
To be honest, I find that Fowler already plays like a goalie who really wants to push for a spot with the Canadiens one day (if not this season!).
With this win, Laval picks up a 10th victory in 15 games and returns home with a 3-1 record on the road.
The Rocket now prepares for a three-game series at Place Bell against the Syracuse Crunch, and I get the feeling fans will be watching Fowler very closely.
