The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent lineup changes indicate that there is no other logical position for their top rookie, Easton Cowan.
The team has been affected by injuries, including the loss of Scott Laughton during preseason and Steven Lorentz with an upper-body injury. Additionally, Joseph Woll is on leave due to a personal matter.
These injuries have led to changes in the forward group, with Coach Craig Berube adjusting the lineup to accommodate replacements. One such replacement is Easton Cowan, who is expected to make his season debut on Monday night.
Instead of joining the fourth line, Cowan is poised to take a prominent role.
Cowan made the team out of camp, but has yet to suit up this season.
