The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to open a six-game homestand on Tuesday after a lengthy road trip that ended Saturday night with a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. Ahead of the Maple Leafs matchup against the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday, Toronto head coach Jim Hiller made some notable line changes, including Easton Cowan moving back up to the first line, while the 2026 first overall pick Gavin McKenna slides back down to the third line. “Well, he’s played so well,” Maple Leafs coach Jim Hiller said about Cowan.
