Shots were 11-1 in his 5-on-5 minutes.

Craig Berube says he wants more shots and more skating out of William Nylander: “We need more out of him.”
Auston Matthews finished with 15 shot attempts for the Leafs in today’s loss to Detroit.
Shots are 8-0 for the Leafs in Easton Cowan’s 8 minutes on the top line (through two periods).
Craig Berube has put Easton Cowan in the Maple Leafs starting lineup for his NHL debut today.
Zone time issues, Easton Cowan’s big chance, and an empowered Anthony Stolarz:

No Easton Cowan again for the Leafs in Detroit.

He’ll be a healthy scratch as Craig Berube sticks with the same lineup from Wednesday’s opener.
It doesn’t look like Easton Cowan will be in the Leafs opening night lineup.

He’s getting extra work at the end of the morning skate with projected scratches, Philippe Myers and Sammy Blais.
Brad Treliving on Easton Cowan: “Today, he’s not on the roster. And then we’ll see what happens tomorrow … If he’s gonna be playing with us here, great. But if he’s not — I want him playing.”
Craig Berube says no decision has been made on Easton Cowan: “He’s here now.”
Interesting tweaks up front for the Leafs today:

•Nick Robertson joins a line with Max Domi and Dakota Joshua

•Calle Järnkrok joins Nicolas Roy and Steven Lorentz

•Easton Cowan appears to be the 13th forward

•David Kämpf no longer with the team
Craig Berube on moving Max Domi back to centre: “I lost a centre. I need a centre. At the same time, it gets us depth in our lines.”
Craig Berube is changing things up in the wake of Scott Laughton’s injury.

Knies — Matthews — Maccelli
McMann — Tavares — Nylander
Joshua — Domi — Kämpf
Lorentz — Roy — Groulx

*Cowan, Robertson, and Järnkrok all playing tonight
