Despite his strong play in the first period, he allowed his first goal of the weekend with about 1:50 left in the first period. The 2nd goal he allowed was on a 5-on-3 Leafs power-play, where there wasn’t much he could do to stop a goal from happening. Nonetheless, Fowler proved to be one of the brightest spots on the weekend for the Habs as he stopped 28 of 30 shots he faced this weekend.
Then when Arseni Radkov came in, he only allowed a goal off a rebound he allowed, but he did look much better than Mikus Vecvanags did on Saturday night, playing a much confident game than him as well.
David Reinbacher had another good defensive game, as he remained solid throughout the whole game, despite the loss. One thing that is positive thing about his game this weekend is that his skating as a whole is looking better than last season. While he may not start the season in the NHL, he has definitely proven that he is at least close to NHL-ready as one of the most solid players for the Canadiens this weekend.
On the other hand, his defensive partner, Adam Engstrom, had a bit of a tougher day than on Saturday, as he made a few mistakes that caused some bad turnovers with the puck on Sunday. If Engstrom wants to prove he deserves a shot in the NHL, he needs to clean up those mistakes a little bit during the official team Training Camp.
