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 heavily impacted by injuries, with Scott Laughton and Steven Lorentz being sidelined, and Joseph Woll taking a leave of absence due to a personal matter.
As a result, Coach Craig Berube has had to reconfigure the forward group, creating an opportunity for Cowan to join the lineup.
Cowan, who made the team out of camp, is expected to make his season debut on Monday night, and will likely be placed in a prominent position rather than the fourth line.
