The Montreal Canadiens' third-round pick in the 2023 draft, promising goalkeeper Jacob Fowler, has just broken another incredible record.

Another achievement this season for Jacob Fowler: he breaks the NCAA record for wins by a rookie (‘Freshman') in a single season, with his 31st win. - Podcast La Relève

Given that the 19-year-old American's campaign continues as his team will play in the Frozen Four in two weeks, he will have the opportunity to establish himself as the most victorious rookie goalkeeper in NCAA history.
Should Boston College win the national title, he would conclude this incredible campaign with 33 wins, which is sensational.
In 37 games this year, Fowler has a 2.20 goals against average and a .924 save percentage, along with two shutouts.

He is also a finalist for the Mike Richter Award

Recall that last week, we learned that he was also among the three finalists for the Mike Richter Award, given annually to the best college goalkeeper in the country.
It's a remarkable feat, especially since Fowler is a first-year player in the NCAA.
Our prospect Jacob Fowler is officially a finalist for the Mike Richter Award, given to the best NCAA goalkeeper. - Montreal Canadiens

At this point, the Canadiens seem to have secured the best goalkeeper of the 2023 cohort with the 19-year-old American, even though he was the sixth of his position to be selected.
He even outperforms three goalkeepers selected before him in the collegiate circuit, namely Adam Gajan, Michael Hrabal, and Trey Augustine, all chosen in the second round of the draft. The Canadiens seem to have snagged the best goalkeeper even though he was the sixth at his position to be picked.
Thus, he is becoming a real home run for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
