A native of Mount Brydges, Ontario — just a couple of hours from Toronto — Easton Cowan, the Maple Leafs’ first-round pick in 2023, scored his first NHL goal.
The play began with John Tavares forcing a Flyers turnover and regaining possession. Curling away from pressure, Tavares found Cowan trailing into the zone. Cowan settled the puck and snapped a wrist shot past the goaltender to record his first career NHL tally.
