Mike Matheson Out, Jacob Fowler to Start Again as Canadiens Host Sabres
Owen Beck will make his season debut after Montreal recalled him from Laval, while Jacob Fowler gets another start after a shutout win.
- Montreal Canadiens defenceman Mike Matheson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, while goaltender Jacob Fowler makes his third consecutive start when the team hosts the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday.
- Replacing Matheson, who averages the second-highest ice time for Montreal, forward Owen Beck will make his season debut after being recalled from the American Hockey League's Laval Rocket on Monday.
- Following his 30-save shutout performance in Saturday's 1-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, Fowler has been selected over Jakub Dobes for two straight games.
