"First Leafs loss this season where I can point out more players I liked than ones I disliked. Tavares, Cowan, Laughton were all stellar tonight. Bad outcome but more efforts like the past two and things will even out eventually Easton Cowan getting some well-deserved minutes with John Tavares and William Nylander. He's been one of the Leafs' best 12 forwards all season and that's certainly true again tonight."
"Easton Cowan getting some well-deserved minutes with John Tavares and William Nylander. He's been one of the Leafs' best 12 forwards all season and that's certainly true again tonight. Anyway, I think Easton Cowan is pretty clearly an NHLer. He's generated a ton but he's only shooting 4%, and that includes quite a few grade A chances. As it is, he's got five points in his first 13 games and it's only a matter of time before the puck starts going in the net."
Toronto Maple Leafs suffered their first loss of the season even though multiple players delivered strong games. John Tavares, Easton Cowan, and Scott Laughton produced notable individual efforts and sustained puck pressure. Easton Cowan earned increased minutes alongside Tavares and William Nylander and created multiple quality chances. The Cowan–Tavares–Nylander line registered a 10–3 advantage in shot attempts and a 4–0 shots differential while on the ice for both Leafs goals in a 7:58 span at 5-on-5. Cowan has five points in 13 games and a low 4% shooting percentage indicates more goals are likely as luck evens out.
