"Easton Cowan is handling everything fine. He makes mistakes, and he understands them and wants to correct them. But that is not going to make him play a different game."
"In Boston, with what they bring here in this building, we're going to need some physicality. That's why he's in."
"It is always a tough game in Boston. It is a big rival. It will be a competitive game. With the situation they're in, we have to be prepared for that."
"Going back a long way to the 1970s, Boston's style and how they go about things has never changed. It has always been a tough place to come into."
Craig Berube discussed lineup changes ahead of the game against the Bruins, emphasizing the need for physicality. Easton Cowan is maturing and handling his first season's challenges well, despite making mistakes. Berube noted Cowan's strong performance in Ottawa, leading to his promotion in the lineup. Anthony Stolarz, Morgan Rielly, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson are ready to play, while Michael Pezzetta will replace Jarnkrok to add physicality. Berube acknowledged the historical toughness of playing in Boston and the competitive nature of the rivalry.
