Canadiens goalie Jacob Fowler had a fake green apple thrown at him from the stands during Saturday's 4-2 win.
According to The Hockey News, referee T.J. Luxmore collected the apple and later showed it to Fowler, and the incident will be reported to the league. Fowler, who stopped 26 shots, joked with the official about whether a goal would have counted on the play.

Senators beat the Utah Mammoth 4-2 on Saturday after Nick Cousins' tip-in with about two minutes left.
The Utah Mammoth’s trip to Pennsylvania and Eastern Canada is over, and once again, they could’ve easily won the final game. After a crushing overtime defeat on Thursday to the Montreal Canadiens in overtime, it was a similar tale on Saturday against the Ottawa Senators, except the Mammoth couldn’t even squeeze out the extra point.

The Hockey News says the Rangers make sense as a trade partner for Canadiens goalie Samuel Montembeault.
The Hockey News argues that Montembeault, a pending unrestricted free agent, could be moved since Montreal has Jacob Fowler and Jakob Dobes. It notes the Rangers placed James Reimer on unconditional waivers for contract termination on Saturday and recently got Joonas Korpisalo back from injury. Montembeault skated Saturday as he continues to recover from an injury, and the article says Montreal would shed his $3.15 million cap hit.
