The Montreal Canadiens struggles in net have led them to turn to Jacob Fowler. Does he need to be a savior?

Ian Boisvert and Laura Saba provide their insights into the call-up of prospect goaltender Jacob Fowler as the Habs goaltending hits rock bottom. Should we worry the Canadiens are repeating the mistakes of the past? Or can this be different? Owen Beck and Adam Engström also return to the Habs lineup. Can Beck replace Jake Evans' impact? Can Engström earn more minutes? And finally, Marty St. Louis says the Habs are not acting out of desperation and they have a plan. What is that plan?
