Prospect
Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canadiens in April of 2025.
Makes playoff debut
Fowler allowed a goal on two shots in relief of Jakub Dobes in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Sabres in Game 6.
ANALYSIS
Fowler hadn't appeared in a game since he backstopped a 4-1 win over the Islanders on April 12. The 21-year-old rookie played the last half of the third period, aside from a stretch where the Canadiens opted for an extra attacker before Tage Thompson's empty-net goal. Fowler could have been with AHL Laval during its playoff run, but he has stayed in the NHL instead as Dobes' backup. It's been Dobes' crease this postseason, as Fowler still has some work to do to be an NHL regular. Fowler should earn some starts for Montreal in 2026-27 after going 9-6-2 with a 2.43 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 17 regular-season outings this year.

ANALYSIS
Sam Montembeault was Jakub Dobes' backup in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Devils. The fact that Fowler didn't travel with the team suggests Fowler could start the second half of the back-to-back as the Canadiens return to Montreal. He has gone 8-5-2 with a 2.55 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 15 NHL appearances this season.
