TORONTO — Easton Cowan’s time in the NHL is done for now. The rookie Maple Leafs winger was sent to the AHL’s Toronto Marlies on Wednesday after 10 games to start the season.

An injury and slow stretches have plagued Scott Laughton's time in Leafs Land, but his gritty defense may revitalize Toronto's struggling fourth line.

Indeed, when the 35-year-old became the 49th player in NHL history to reach the 500-goal plateau against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 29, there was very little reason to celebrate. Nor was he about to. Even with his milestone moment, the Maple Leafs were still trailing the Blue Jackets 6-2 in a game Toronto would end up losing 6-3.

The Toronto Maple Leafs (7-5-1) host the Utah Mammoth (9-4) at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. ET, airing on ESPN+. The matchup features a pair of the NHL's top offensive options in William Nylander (five goals and 13 assists) and Nick Schmaltz (eight goals and 10 assists).

While Cowan is one of Toronto’s top trade assets outside of established NHL veterans, Kypreos made it clear that moving the up-and-coming rookie is not on the table. “Many teams will come calling for Easton Cowan, which is a non-starter for now,” Kypreos wrote.

Once Woll is ready to play games, he'll likely get a couple of starts with the Marlies on a conditioning loan.
