Maple Leafs' Easton Cowan: Strong game but still no points
Cowan got to skate with his boyhood idol, Mitch Marner, and Max Domi against Montreal on Thursday.
Cowan didn't hit the scoresheet but did impress. The trio created eight scoring chances and controlled 84.4 percent of the expected goals at 5v5. But in reality, games aren't decided based on expected goals. Cowan hasn't picked up a point during the preseason. The diminutive 19-year-old must work on his strength -- he got pushed off the puck a few times, and he had the puck stripped a few times by average NHL defenders. But that will come. Cowan needs more development time, but he sure is fun to watch.

Maple Leafs' Easton Cowan: Coach impressed with effort
Cowan has impressed Leafs general manager, Brad Treliving, during rookie camp, reports the Toronto Sun on Wednesday.
Cowan produced 34 goals and 62 assists in 54 regular-season games last season with OHL London, and he followed it up with 10 goals and 24 assists in 18 playoff contests. He's already shown he can stand out with two strong rookie games versus the Habs freshmen. Cowan is fast with intense compete, and he doesn't cut corners in his own zone. Still, Treliving is a tough customer and doesn't mince words: "He has produced in junior and the one thing watching the rookie games, this guy works. Having said that, he needs to be detailed... He needs to show us that he doesn't [still have junior habits]." Cowan will compete for a bottom-six role in training camp and could get a nine-game audition with the big club. Or stay, depending on his game. He remains eligible to return to the OHL for 2024-25.
