The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent lineup adjustments indicate that there is no other suitable position for their top rookie, Easton Cowan.
The team has been affected by injuries, including the loss of Scott Laughton during the preseason and Steven Lorentz's upper-body injury on Saturday night. Additionally, Joseph Woll is currently on leave due to an undisclosed personal matter.
These injuries have led to a reshuffling of the forward group, with Coach Craig Berube making adjustments to accommodate replacement players. One such player is Easton Cowan, who made the team out of camp but has yet to play this season.
Cowan is expected to make his debut on Monday night, and instead of starting on the fourth line, he will be placed in a more prominent position.
