Jacob Fowler practiced for the first time with the Rocket this morning.

What is the plan for Pascal Vincent and the team’s coaches with him in mind for the rest of the season?

The goalkeeper is expected to have the opportunity to play a few games before the end of the regular season in the American League. Recall that the Rocket has already secured its playoff spot and the team wants to see Fowler play to see what he’s got.

But that’s not all.

Jeremy Filosa, who attended Pascal Vincent’s press conference today, also suggested in a tweet that Fowler could play in the playoffs.

The Rocket’s coach said that Primeau deserves respect for bringing the team to the playoffs… but everything can change quickly in the playoffs.

In short, Pascal Vincent did not close the door on Fowler getting starts during the spring dance.

Connor Hughes is currently injured and this opens the door for Jacob Fowler.

The Canadiens’ prospect arrives in Laval with confidence because he had an exceptional season in the NCAA… and there’s a world where he surpasses Cayden Primeau by the end of the season with the Rocket.

But it won’t be easy because Primeau has been more than dominant since his return to the American League. The numbers don’t lie:

  • 19-2-2 record
  • 2.00 goals-against average
  • .924 save percentage
Jacob Fowler will have to prove to the coaches that he can do the job in important moments.

He needs to have good starts before the end of the season to impress his new coaches… and if that happens, we could really see him play in the American League playoffs.


In Overtime

– Speaking of Primeau and Fowler.

– File to follow.

– Lane Hutson wants to improve and Kent Hughes likes that aspect of his personality.

– By the way… Lane was one of the few at the optional practice this morning. Classic.

– It smells like playoffs!
