Overview
- Montreal announced the call-ups of goaltender Jacob Fowler, forward Owen Beck and defenseman Adam Engström from AHL Laval.
- Fowler earns his first NHL look after a 10-5-0 start with the Rocket, a .919 save percentage and three shutouts.
- The recalls come after a 6-1 defeat to Tampa Bay in which Jakub Dobeš was pulled and Samuel Montembeault allowed three goals in relief.
- Dobeš and Montembeault have combined for an 88.52 save percentage this season, a figure near the bottom of the NHL.
- The additions provide lineup options for a two-game trip to Pittsburgh and New York, with Beck on a second recall and Engström returning from a prior stint, while usage plans are not yet specified.
