Hutson’s team could also keep an eye on Macklin Celebrini, the next potential first overall pick in the 2024 draft, but there’s also the Habs’ other prospect, Luke Tuch.
As for Fowler, he’s been able to count all season on the performances of Will Smith, Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault.
He doubled his team’s lead on the power play, while Perreault and Smith added to the tally with an assist each.

It must be said that if the San Jose Sharks didn’t select Smith fourth overall in the last draft, the Habs would most likely have set their sights on the talented forward, rather than David Reinbacher.
With the score 4-1 in BC’s favor, Jacob Fowler made a spectacular diving save.
Jacob Fowler is no worse in hockey!

It was on a power play and Fowler could do nothing about Celebrini’s quality shot:

Although Lane Hutson was expected to step up his game in such an important match, he was rather quiet. He wasn’t the only one to be quiet on the Boston University side, as top prospect Macklin Celebrini was also rather invisible in the game, despite his late goal.
