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 significantly impacted by injuries, including the loss of Scott Laughton during preseason and Steven Lorentz's upper-body injury on Saturday night. Additionally, Joseph Woll's undisclosed personal matter has led to a leave of absence.
These injuries have resulted in a chain reaction affecting the Maple Leafs' forward group, prompting Coach Craig Berube to reorganize his team. One of the replacements is star rookie Easton Cowan, who made the team but has yet to play this season.
Cowan is expected to make his debut on Monday night, and instead of joining 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.
