Maple Leafs' lineup changes signal there’s no other spot for Cowan
Toronto Maple Leafs prized rookie Easton Cowan has no other place in the team's lineup but on the top unit. | Dave Reginek/GettyImagesThe Toronto Maple Leafs have already been bitten quite hard by the injury bug this season. First, the club lost Scott Laughton during the preseason. Then, Steven Lorentz went down on Saturday night with an upper-body injury.
Those two injuries come on top of Joseph Woll’s undisclosed personal matter, leading to a leave of absence.
As such, the injury woes have triggered a cascading effect on the Maple Leafs’ forward group. Coach Craig Berube has had to shift his pieces around to accommodate replacements.
