Jacob Tye argues that Jacob Fowler's strong play and underlying analytics warrant him taking over the starting goaltender role for the Montreal Canadiens. Fowler has won two of his three starts this season, posting a 1.91 goals-against average and a shutout against the Detroit Red Wings, contrasting sharply with Jakub Dobes' ongoing struggles.
Dobes allowed five goals against the Washington Capitals on Wednesday and holds a 4.64 goals-against average with a minus-5.8 goals saved above expected. By comparison, Fowler holds a 1.8 goals saved above expected and could potentially start Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.
