"His approach to this season and the way he is kicking things off professionally in his career, I think he's had just a great head on his shoulders and a great focus to it. Anytime you're approaching things the right way, doing what you can to contribute and be solid with and without the puck, especially when you're an offensive player, it's great to see him get rewarded and that was a great shot and a big goal for us."
"Obviously, he's been buzzing and playing really well,"
"Nice to see him with that first one. I think he will complement us. He is a smart player and he's making some great plays out there."
Cowan scored his first goal, receiving a pass from John Tavares and wiring a shot past Dan Vladar into the top corner to extend a 4-1 lead early in the third period. Cowan and Tavares are set to play alongside the returning William Nylander, forming the new-look second line for the upcoming game against Pittsburgh. John Tavares praised Cowan's professional approach, focus and ability to contribute both with and without the puck and called the goal a big reward. William Nylander noted Cowan has been buzzing, expects him to complement the line, and highlighted his smart play. Chris Tanev was placed on injured reserve after being stretchered off and taken to a local hospital, a circumstance described by teammates as extremely difficult and concerning.
