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 set to make his debut on Monday night.
Cowan will head straight to the top line, rather than starting on the fourth line.
