The Montreal Canadiens are clearly seeking stronger support in goal behind Samuel Montembeault, but there is optimism for the future. Cayden Primeau seems to have lost the organization’s faith, yet reinforcements are expected to come in the medium term.
In an interview with the NHL’s official site, promising young goaltender Jacob Fowler expressed his desire to sign with the Canadiens. Unlike Cal Petersen or Adam Fox, he is committed to the team that drafted him, which is excellent news.
Fowler shared his thoughts on his future in Guillaume Lepage’s insightful article, where he clearly outlines his intentions. He mentions, “My aunt still lives in Montreal, and she’s well aware of the fans’ passion. I often remind her not to get too caught up in it. The same goes for me. Playing for the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge is my dream, but I still have many steps to take.”
Transitioning to the professional level and deciding when to do so will be his first crucial step. If he can maintain his impressive performance in the NCAA and lead his team to success, the allure of signing with the Canadiens will be significant, as noted by Lepage.
Fowler is already discussing the “next level,” indicating that it’s a constant goal for him. For many Canadiens fans, hearing that his dream is to play for the team is music to their ears.
At just 20 years old, Jacob Fowler has had an outstanding season at Boston College, boasting a 1.55 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage with 8 wins and 2 losses. He is definitely a player to watch.
