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, with Scott Laughton and Steven Lorentz being sidelined, and Joseph Woll taking a leave of absence due to personal reasons.
As a result, Coach Craig Berube has had to reorganize the forward group, creating an opportunity for Cowan to join the lineup.
Cowan, who made the team during training camp, is expected to make his season debut on Monday night, but instead of starting on the fourth line, he will likely be placed in a more prominent position.
Coach Craig Berube has had to shift his pieces around to accommodate replacements.
