"Robertson has appeared in all seven games for the Leafs so far this season, playing a consistent role in the team's bottom six with Scott Laughton out due to an injury suffered in the preseason. The 24-year-old forward has yet to find the back of the net this season, tallying only one assist, averaging 11 minutes played a night. In Robertson's place, top Leafs prospect Easton Cowan is slotting back into the lineup."
"Cowan started the year as a healthy scratch before making his first appearance with the team on October 13th in a 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He started in a bottom-six role before joining forces with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies on the team's top line. Openly stating he was having trouble keeping up with the pace of NHL play for a full 60 minutes, Berube took him out of the lineup on Tuesday for a "reset," letting him watch for a game."
Nick Robertson will be a healthy scratch for Friday night after appearing in all seven games this season and recording one assist while averaging 11 minutes per game. Easton Cowan returns to the lineup after starting the year as a healthy scratch and making his debut on October 13th; he has one assist through four games and is still seeking his first NHL goal. Coach Craig Berube removed Cowan once for a "reset" after Cowan said he struggled to keep pace for a full 60 minutes. Cowan is expected to play on the third line with Dakota Joshua and Nicholas Roy as the team adjusts lines to spark offense.
