"The 6-foot winger was not seen as a pushover during his time with the OHL's London Knights but he wasn't willing to drop the gloves every single game. But on Tuesday night, Cowan did manage to earn a stay in the penalty box for really mixing it up with a Senator. If Cowan wants to shed a potential label of a soft perimeter winger that might not excel playing Craig Berube Hockey, then he needs to do this a lot more."
"through two preseason games, Cowan has a total of five shots on goal, nine shot attempts, five registered scoring chances with one of them being in the high-danger area. Comparing that to just last preseason where he made five appearances, Cowan was virtually hit all the offensive markers already in three fewer games. It took him almost 73 minutes of ice-time to have five shots, and nine shot attempts -- but now in just over 28, he has done exactly that already."
Easton Cowan, a 20-year-old 6-foot winger, recorded an assist in a 3-2 preseason loss to Ottawa and showed increased physicality by earning a roughing penalty. Cowan registered five shots on goal, nine shot attempts and five scoring chances through two preseason games, including one high-danger chance. Those totals matched his previous preseason output in three fewer games and came with significantly less ice time compared to last year. The progression indicates accelerated development. Head coach Craig Berube plans to provide Cowan with ample opportunities to earn a roster place, though roster decisions remain unresolved.
