Canadiens @ Penguins Top Six Minutes: Jacob Fowler wins his NHL debut

There’s a delay to allow people to get to the rink. Jacob Fowler’s NHL debut will wait another 30 minutes. First period Owen Beck puts enough pressure on Kris Letang at the end of a long shift for the veteran defenceman to create a turnover. Alexandre Texier collects the puck and fires it off the far-side elbow of the net and in to open the scoring. Beck won’t get a point on the play, but it doesn’t happen without him. Sidney Crosby tries to tip the puck in in f...
