Cam Fowler Forced To Exit Early After Taking Puck To Face
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler was limited to only 21 seconds of action against San Jose on Thursday, leaving the contest after taking a puck to the face. He was bleeding heavily as Fowler headed into the locker room. The Ducks still managed to win the game 6-4, with the rest of the blue-liners playing a big part in the success. Urho Vaakanainen was the lone Ducks defenseman without a point on Thursday. Radko Gudas and Pavel Mintyukov saw the most action on the backline at 28:14 and 26:23, respectively. They will be leaned on heavily again on Friday against New Jersey if Fowler is unavailable.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler stretched his point streak to four games with a two-assist effort in Sunday's impressive 4-2 win over Vegas. The Ducks delivered the reigning Stanley Cup champions their first regulation defeat of the season with a four-goal third period. Fowler had assists on the first and final goal. He helped Adam Henrique bag a power-play goal and logged an assist when Sam Carrick completed a two-goal game with an empty-netter. Fowler was awfully quiet early in the year, but the team has picked up great momentum with a six-game winning streak, and the veteran blue-liner has kickstarted his campaign. He now boasts seven points (one goal, six assists) in 11 games with 13 shots on net, 24 blocks, and a plus-seven rating.
Cam Fowler Hands Out Three Assists Against Nashville
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler kept the assists going on Sunday against Nashville, playing his part in a 5-4 overtime loss with three assists. Two of Fowler's helpers came in the final few minutes of regulation, with strikes from Troy Terry and Mason McTavish extending the game. Fowler has now contributed 13 assists across his last 12 appearances. He had a very quiet start offensively to the season, but the 31-year-old is now suddenly on the cusp of setting his new scoring record. He needs two more points to surpass the career-high 42 points he posted a season ago. In 67 games, Fowler has tallied nine goals and 32 assists with 105 shots on net and 74 blocks.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (personal) won't suit up in the team's final game of the season against Dallas on Friday. He sits out a second consecutive game after becoming a father earlier in the week. It's a great way to end a very productive season. Fowler went off for a career-high 42 points in 76 games, while also tallying 116 blocks. The veteran blue-liner plays in every situation and logged 24:24 per game across the season, so it's pretty tough for Anaheim to play without him. Urho Vaakanainen and Kevin Shattenkirk logged the most ice time among defensemen on Tuesday against San Jose and will get a busy night again, while Jamie Drysdale is rolling with the first power-play unit.
Cam Fowler Getting Closer To Returning For Anaheim
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler is still listed as day-to-day. However, he did skate on Saturday and some suggested Fowler may be closer to returning than expected. Time will tell there. Dallas Eakins believed that the defenseman skating "was encouraging". What does that mean? Fowler played just 6:03 (8 shifts) on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks and it was feared he would be out longer. This is good news as Fowler's steady presence and 17 points in 33 games is sorely missed.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (upper body) is considered questionable for Friday's contest against the Golden Knights. Fowler was injured in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Vancouver after awkwardly hitting the boards. The team feared the worst, but Fowler was back at practice on Thursday and could be ready to play again against Vegas. "There could have been a number of different long-term injuries that could come out of a fall like that, so just having him here and having him get out on the ice and then joining us, it is a sigh of relief," said Ducks head coach Dallas Eakins. Fowler is a true workhorse for the team, having logged over 23 minutes per game this season. He's recorded 17 points with 21 hits and 48 blocks in 33 contests.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Kings, reaching 20 points for the year. Sam Carrick and Sam Steel also scored as Anaheim erased a 2-0 deficit. Fowler has endured a couple of really long dry spells this season, but he has picked it up lately with points in three of his past four outings. He has five goals for the campaign and is the team's third-leading scorer with only Maxime Comtois (28) and Rickard Rakell (26) ahead of him. Fowler has a couple of more games in the favorable matchup against the Kings coming up, before finishing the regular season with a two-game set against both Minnesota and St. Louis.
