The Toronto Maple Leafs have spent much of this season looking for a spark, and Easton Cowan may have just delivered it.

His late, game-tying goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets felt like the kind of momentum-shifting moment that can jolt an underachieving team awake. In many ways, it echoed Bo Bichette's clutch late-game home run against the Texas Rangers last May, an early-season swing that ended up igniting the Toronto Blue Jays' turnaround.
