'Jacob Fowler hasn’t let in a bad goal yet.'

Jacob Fowler is having quite a start to the season. Everyone knows it.

Last week's third star in the NHL has sparked debates in Montreal about who should be the starting goaltender and what role Samuel Montembeault will play when he returns.

Keep in mind that Fowler started the season in the minors.

What's impressing everyone is that his technique is even better than last year. Why? Because he's even faster than he was.

That helps him, of course.

Since the start of the season, he's allowed only 11 goals in six games, which works out to a 1.79 goals-against average. And of those 11 goals allowed, none were bad saves.

That's the opinion of Stéphane Waite, who discussed the topic on yesterday's episode of the “Sortie de zone” podcast.

The former Canadiens goaltending coach—who, among others, coached Carey Price—knows what he's talking about. Hearing him say something like that is pretty significant.

But it's not all that surprising. He's the kind of goalie who makes the save when he sees the puck and when his movements aren't obstructed.
