Easton Cowan receives high praise from William Nylander

After two goalless periods, the Columbus Blue Jackets took the lead when Zach Werenski scored at 13:30 of the third.

With less than four minutes remaining in regulation, Easton Cowan tied the game 1-1 for the Maple Leafs after William Nylander fed him a no-look pass from behind the net, setting up a sharp-angled shot.

After the game, Nylander had nothing but praise for the 20-year-old:

"Yeah, he has done really well. You see the things that he can do out there. An incredible shot on that goal, in a tough angle on the offside. I mean, shooting like that, lefty, is crazy," Nylander said post-game. "So, he's been doing incredible things, and it's been fun playing with him.

Nylander increased his season tally to 31 points (11 goals and 20 assists) in 20 games. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs improved their record to 10-10-3, holding the seventh position in the Atlantic Division.
