Toronto Maple Leafs fans have been hopeful for Easton Cowan's NHL career, and with the team taking on the Montreal Canadiens, anticipation has been heightened.
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs are taking on the Montreal Canadiens in the team's season opener, and there is no doubt that fans have been looking forward to this game.
The Maple Leafs have an impressive roster, and rookie Easton Cowan is trying to crack it. This morning, he was called up from the Toronto Marlies, which led to some hope that he would be in the lineup.
Unfortunately, it seems like Cowan is going to have to wait a while. We say this because of a development at morning skate.

According to Mark Masters, Easton Cowan stayed out for some extra time. This means that he will not be in the lineup.
It was also revealed that Sammy Blais and Philippe Myers will be scratches as well, although this was expected as they are the 13th forward and 7th defenseman respectively.

If you are a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, you should have some solace in the fact that Easton Cowan will crack the lineup eventually.
He is already on the Leafs roster, which was never a guarantee when training camp started. Now, he has a real chance to become a regular.
As the week goes on, things could change. If Nick Robertson or Calle Jarnkrok has a bad showing, then expect Cowan to be in the lineup.
Hopefully, the Leafs can figure things out here and continue grinding as the season goes on.
