Leafs first round pick Easton Cowan back with Knights
The Toronto Maple Leafs reassigned forward Easton Cowan to the London Knights on Wednesday following a strong preseason showing.
Cowan, who was selected by Toronto with the 28th overall pick of this past summer’s NHL Draft in Nashville, recorded a goal and two assists, averaging 16:43 of ice time across four NHL preseason games.
The Mt. Brydges, Ont. native came into his own during last year’s playoffs, emerging as a front-line leader for the Western Conference champion Knights as he put together 21 points (9-12–21) in 20 postseason contests.
The Knights are in Peterborough for an OHL Championship rematch with the Petes tonight at 7:00pm. See the game on OHL Live, YourTV Peterborough, Rogers tv in London or on OHL Action Pak channel 470.
