The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent lineup changes 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 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 replacements. One such replacement is Easton Cowan, who is expected to make his season debut on Monday night.
Cowan will head straight to the top line, rather than starting on the fourth line.
