Blues' Cam Fowler: Debuts right away for St. Louis
Rotowire
Fowler made his Blues debut Saturday in a 2-1 overtime loss, failing to record a point but producing one shot on net, one blocked shot and one hit in 17:35 of ice time.
The 33-year-old blueliner was acquired from Anaheim earlier in the day and wasted no time in making his St. Louis debut, skating on the second pairing with Philip Broberg at even strength. Fowler has plenty of power-play experience, but Justin Faulk is still entrenched on the top unit for the Blues, so the switch in teams may not be much of a fantasy upgrade for the former Duck. Through 18 appearances this season, Fowler has only four assists with 30 blocked shots, 18 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-7 rating.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Logs helper in loss
Rotowire
Fowler notched an assist and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Wild.
This was Fowler's second game back from an upper-body injury that cost him four weeks. The 33-year-old has taken on his usual top-four role, though he may lose some minutes once Jacob Trouba joins the team. Fowler is at a modest three helpers with 11 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 14 appearances this season. His lack of power-play time has drastically reduced his scoring potential, making him an unlikely candidate for fantasy consideration in most formats.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Fowler, who is dealing with an upper-body injury, will be a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup with Minnesota, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Fowler hasn't offered much in terms of offensive upside this season with just two helpers through the first 12 contests. The veteran blueliner has seen his role with the man advantage reduced -- he's averaging just 43 seconds of power-play ice time this season compared to 2:21 last year -- which no doubt is a factor in his slow offensive start. If Fowler can't play, Radko Gudas could see an uptick in ice time while Urho Vaakanainen would step back into the lineup.

Rotowire
Fowler notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Devils.
Fowler's helper was his first point since Opening Night. The 32-year-old defenseman has seen a diminished power-play role this year, which explains a large part of his slow start on offense.

Ducks' Cam Fowler: Sets up empty-netter
Rotowire
Fowler produced an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Sharks.
Fowler picked up the lone helper on Trevor Zegras' empty-netter. The 32-year-old Fowler has had three of his best seasons over the last three years, but the Ducks' ongoing rebuild has introduced younger defensemen into the mix to eat into his role. With no guarantee of power-play time on a team that's still likely to be low-scoring, Fowler could struggle to match last year's 39-point production.

Rotowire
Fowler notched a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
Fowler finished the campaign on a five-game assist streak. The 32-year-old dealt with some challenges as the most veteran member of a young defense corps, but he came away with 39 points, 109 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and a minus-36 rating through 81 games. Fowler remains productive on offense and a minutes-eater defensively, though his fantasy utility varies by format, and that's likely to remain true in 2024-25.
