"Goalie Jacob Fowler, who was called up from the AHL's Laval Rocket to act as a backup netminder. He would end up stopping 32 of 34 shots for a .941 save percentage while also improving his record as the Habs' starting goaltender to 5-4-2."
"With the Senators surging and the second-place Tampa Bay Lightning going through a losing streak, Fowler's efforts were not only key in securing a divisional win but also in gaining ground on their playoff-chasing rivals. Heading into Friday's action, the Canadiens sit two points behind the Lightning for second in the Atlantic Division and just four points back of the Buffalo Sabres for the top spot in the division."
"In Carolina, goaltender Brandon Bussi has quickly cemented himself as part of the team's goaltending tandem with Pyotr Kochetkov more than likely out for the remainder of the season due to a lower-body injury. Bussi's 25 wins make up the majority of Carolina's 41-win tally to this point, which has them in first place in the Metropolitan Division by nine points."
The Montreal Canadiens secured a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators, with goalie Jacob Fowler delivering a standout performance by stopping 32 of 34 shots for a .941 save percentage. Fowler improved his record as the Habs' starting goaltender to 5-4-2. This divisional win proved crucial as Montreal sits two points behind second-place Tampa Bay Lightning and four points behind first-place Buffalo Sabres in the Atlantic Division. The Canadiens hold two games in hand on Buffalo, creating a competitive three-way race for the division title. Similarly, rookie goaltender Brandon Bussi in Carolina has emerged as a key contributor, posting a 25-5-1 record as the Hurricanes' starting goaltender while filling in for injured Pyotr Kochetkov.
