Canadiens Young Star Named NHL's Rookie Of The Month

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jacob Fowler has been named the NHL's Rookie of the Month for October. 

When looking at how excellently Fowler played in October, it is very easy to understand why he has been named the NHL's top rookie for the month. The Canadiens young star had a 7-1-0 record, a 1.84 goals-against average, a .932 save percentage, and two shutouts in October.

With numbers like these, Fowler has been simply fantastic for the Canadiens early on this season. The 21-year-old is continuing to create more excitement among fans about his future with the Canadiens. Now, he will be aiming to build off his excellent October and continue to stay hot from here.

The Canadiens have certainly been benefiting from Fowler's strong play, too. As they enter the new month, the Habs have a 9-3-2 record and has won each of their last five games. With this, they are second place in the Atlantic Division. 

It will now be interesting to see what Fowler can do in November for the Canadiens after his great October. If he keeps this kind of play up, Montreal is going to be in a very good place this campaign.
