The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing the Detroit Red Wings tonight, and according to a new report, the lineup is likely what the team will go with come opening night.
There are only two more preseason games left for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and they are both against the Detroit Red Wings. Tonight's game is in Toronto, and Saturday's is in Detroit.
Having said that, the Maple Leafs are looking to get their top guys in game shape ahead of next Wednesday's season opener against the Montreal Canadiens.
That's why tonight's lineup was expected to be a preview of the opening night lineup. This would consequently give fans some insight into who is making the team.
According to Jonas Siegel, tonight's lineup is very heavy on the NHLers, and as you will notice, Easton Cowan is, indeed, on the roster for tonight's game.
Knies - Matthews - Domi
McMann - Tavares - Nylander
Maccelli - Roy - Joshua
Lorentz - Laughton - Cowan
McCabe - Tanev
Rielly - Carlo
Ekman-Larsson - Benoit
Stolarz

Cowan's inclusion on the roster is certainly good news for Maple Leafs fans, although for some players, this is actually very bad.
Toronto Maple Leafs send a message to Nick Robertson
Nick Robertson, Calle Jarnkrok, and David Kampf are not on the roster. This suggests to us that they will be gone soon.
They have been relegated to the fifth line during practice, and it has put the Leafs in sell-now mode, at least for these specific players.
Overall, this is going to make for a fascinating end to training camp, and we are eager to see how the Leafs get out of this.
Meanwhile, the regular season will officially begin on October 8th, against the Montreal Canadiens.
