Official announcement from the Montreal Canadiens about a significant reinforcement coming between the pipes with Jacob Fowler

Fowler was the 6th goaltender selected in the last draft, chosen 69th overall. Less than a year later, he finds himself ranked 3rd among all goaltenders aged 23 and under who are not playing regularly in the NHL.

Despite being a rookie in the NCAA, Fowler has real chances of winning this award. His record of 29-5-1, with a 2.19 goals against average and a .925 save percentage, makes him a prime candidate.

The Canadiens and Kent Hughes' scouting team have hit a home run with this pick. It's still early to make predictions about the young player's future, but his progress is remarkable.

Here are some highlights:

One can quickly notice Fowler's strengths. He has the size, technique, and speed of a top goaltender. He controls rebounds well and has sharp reflexes.

He seems to have all the qualities to become a good NHL goaltender. It's worth noting that he is in his rookie year in the NCAA and is only 19 years old. This bodes very well for the future!
