Rocket: Jacob Fowler back in net tonight

Cayden Primeau won Game #1, but gave up four goals in the game. Fowler, in three playoff games, only gave up three goals against Cleveland.

That doesn’t erase everything that’s been done this season, but it does make Fowler’s right to play. Especially considering his importance to the Habs’ bank of prospects…

He’ll no doubt realize that Rochester is a bigger challenge than Cleveland, but that’s precisely why it’s interesting to see him take the net: to get the experience.

If he does well tonight, he’ll force his coach to consider him for the next game. There’s no telling how long the rotation will last in front of the net, after all.

Elsewhere in the lineup, there will be one small change: Luke Tuch will play. He’ll be on the club’s fourth line with Florian “La Licorne” Xhekaj and Jared Davidson.

Owen Beck will be promoted.

Remember that this will be the last game of the series in the United States. The 3-of-5 started in Rochester, but the last three (potential) games will be played in Laval.

The Rocket leads the series 1-0.
