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 Scott Laughton during the preseason and Steven Lorentz with an upper-body injury. Additionally, Joseph Woll is on a leave of absence 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 replacements. One such replacement 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.
Coach Craig Berube has had to shift his pieces around to accommodate replacements.
