Jacob Fowler Linked to Canadiens' Playoff Push Amid Trade Deadline Drama

Could Jacob Fowler's AHL success spark a pivotal change in the Canadiens' playoff journey?

The Montreal Canadiens are making waves post-trade deadline, and their recent 3-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre is a testament to their current form. With a 2-0-1 record in their last three games, the Habs are showing resilience and determination.

On this week’s edition of the Hockey Inside/Out Show, former Canadiens stars and 1986 Stanley Cup champions Rick Green and Brian Skrudland join the conversation to dissect the team's recent performances and the buzz around a potential blockbuster trade that almost happened. Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos has speculated that GM Kent Hughes was close to securing a deal involving Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies. While the trade didn’t materialize before the deadline, it leaves fans wondering if it might be revisited this summer.

Adding to the excitement, the Canadiens have called up goalie Jacob Fowler from the AHL’s Laval Rocket. Fowler is set to start in the upcoming game against the Senators in Ottawa, a move that could provide a fresh dynamic to the team’s lineup.
