Video Blow


Top prospect for the Maple Leafs, Easton Cowan, recently suffered what seems to be a serious injury after taking a heavy hit.

Following a challenging training camp with the Leafs, Cowan returned to the OHL, quickly resuming his scoring success from the previous season.

On Friday night, he unofficially set a new record during a game against fellow Leafs’ first-round draft pick Ben Danford and the Oshawa Generals, earning a point in his 56th consecutive game. In that streak, he accumulated an impressive 94 points, consisting of 38 goals and 56 assists.

This record-breaking achievement coincided with his selection for Team Canada’s World Junior camp and unofficially surpassed the previous record of 55 consecutive games with a point held by Leafs legend Doug Gilmour during the 1982-83 season.

Regrettably for Cowan, shortly after achieving the new record, he had to exit the game following a significant hit from Generals defenseman Zack Sandhu, which left both players visibly shaken. At the moment of the hit, Cowan was looking down, trying to secure a pass in the neutral zone when Sandhu delivered what was judged to be a clean but powerful hit.

 

 

Although both players felt the affects of the hit, Cowan ended up leaving the game and not returning. There was no immediate update following the game, and now Cowan’s availability for Team Canada is in question as he was supposed to report to selection camp next week.
