Craig Berube explains why Easton Cowan is scratched for third consecutive game
"Craig Berube, on Easton Cowan: "The conversations with him (have been) we won last game, just be patient. We definitely do not want him sitting out too long. It's not good for his growth. I think he helps us." Cowan projects to be a healthy scratch for the 3rd consecutive game. https://t.co/YMUofi0Ujn- Arun Srinivasan (@Arunthings) December 27, 2025"
""Conversations with him (have been) we won last game, just be patient. We definitely do not want him sitting out too long. That's not good for his growth. I think he helps us. I think he's a good player, and he's only going to get better," Berube said via The Leafs Nation's Arun Srinivasan."
Easton Cowan will be a healthy scratch for a third straight Maple Leafs game as coach Craig Berube leans on veteran lineup stability. Berube says conversations with Cowan stress patience after the recent win and that prolonged scratches would hinder his development. Cowan has four goals and 11 points this season and has appeared in 26 of 36 games, but recent opportunities have been limited. The Leafs, fresh off a 6-3 victory over Pittsburgh, are preparing to host Ottawa and continue to rely on experienced wingers alongside Auston Matthews.
