Fowler Flawless for Canadiens as Bolduc Nets Shootout Winner Against Red Wings
Jacob Fowler made 30 saves and Zachary Bolduc scored in the sixth round as Montreal won despite three disallowed goals.
On Saturday, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Detroit Red Wings 1-0 at the Bell Centre, with Zachary Bolduc scoring the deciding goal in the shootout. Goaltender Jacob Fowler earned his second career shutout.
Following a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Friday, Detroit's defeat marked their second consecutive loss. Montreal snapped a three-game losing streak, recording their first home victory of the season.
Fans at the Bell Centre repeatedly chanted "We want Larkin," attempting to persuade Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin to join the Canadiens. However, Larkin has shown little interest in joining any Canadian team.
Making his 100th career NHL game, Red Wings goaltender Daniil Tarasov made 30 saves, keeping the game scoreless through regulation. Montreal's power play remained 1-for-17 on the season after failing to convert on four opportunities.
With Samuel Montembeault sidelined for 10 to 14 days, 21-year-old Jacob Fowler made his second consecutive start. Montreal hosts the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, while Detroit hosts the New Jersey Devils the same day.
