Playing career
Cowen was chosen by the Chiefs with the first-overall pick in the 2006 WHL Bantam Draft. In the 2006–07 season, he appeared in six regular-season games as well as six playoff games. He played in 68 games and scored 14 goals, 14 assists, and 18 points, along with 62 penalty minutes in his first full season with the team. As the league's champions, the Chiefs won the Ed Chynoweth Cup this season. Cowen appeared in all 21 playoff games, scoring one goal and giving three assists. The Chiefs then earned a spot in the 2008 Memorial Cup, where they defeated the Kitchener Rangers by a score of 4-1. Cowen effectively ended the Chiefs' championship by scoring into a dead net with 56 seconds remaining. He was named the Chiefs rookie of the year and the WHL Western Conference scholastic player of the year.
Cowen's numbers increased during the 2008-09 season, with 7 goals and 14 assists. However, his season was cut short due to a knee injury he suffered in a match against the Chilliwack Bruins. The International Scouting Service ranked him fourth best skater in the final rankings for the 2009 NHL Draft. The Ottawa Senators ranked him ninth overall.
In March 2010, Cowen signed a professional deal with the Senators. Cowen was called up to the Senators after Spokane was cut from the playoffs. He made his NHL debut with the Senators against the Tampa Bay Lightning on April 8, 2010.
Cowen was expected to compete for a roster spot in Ottawa for the 2010–11 season, compared to some scouts to Zdeno Chara and Derian Hatcher. Cowen made it to the final cuts at the 2010 training camp before being returned to junior.
Cowen was a member of the Binghamton Senators' 2011 Calder Cup championship team in his first season of professional hockey.
Cowen dropped the Ottawa roster out of training camp and played regularly in 2011–12, partnering veteran defenceman Sergei Gonchar. On November 1, 2011, he scored his first NHL goal against Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins. Cowen emerged as one of Ottawa's top four defensemen as the season progressed.
The Senators assigned Cowen to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, during the 2012-2013 NHL lockout, allowing him to play at a competitive level. In a game against the Albany Devils on October 6, 2012, he sustained what was supposed to be a season-ending hip injury. Cowen underwent surgery in New York on November 17, 2012, to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. Cowen was ready to practice with the Senators by March 27, 2013 and was back to the Ottawa lineup on April 16, 2013, much sooner than the initial estimate of six-to-eight months. His return to the lineup was a memorable one as he launched a clean open-ice hit 13 minutes into the game, prompting Carolina Hurricanes star forward Jeff Skinner to leave the game and not return. Both Chad LaRose and Kevin Westgarth were defeated later on by Cowen. "I think it's the first two-fight game I've seen since junior," Cowen said of his first game back.
Cowen was one of a select group of Senators' participants who had intended to attend the 2013 Boston Marathon one day before. Cowen and the other participants had intended to finish the marathon but unfortunately did not appear until the bombs detonated, killing and injuring many spectators and runners. The players changed their plans at the last minute and returned to their hotel for a nap instead of a scramble for the Boston Bruins' match on Saturday night. "We may have been in the exact same location for a block or so," Cowen said.
Cowen remained a restricted free agent as Ottawa's 2013 training camp began. The team declared on September 14, 2013 that it had come to an agreement on a four-year deal with the defenceman's average annual income of $3.1 million.
Cowen struggled to solidify himself within the Ottawa team over the 2015-2016 season, with occasionaly finding him a healthy scratch. Cowen was part of the Toronto Maple Leafs in a blockbuster, nine-player trade on February 9, 2016. Dion Phaneuf, Colin Greening, Milan Michalek, Tobias Lindberg, and Ottawa's 2017 second-round draft pick was sent to Toronto in exchange for Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf, Matthew Frattin, Casey Bailey, Ryan Rupert, and Cody Donaghey. Cowen was placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs and then assigned to the Toronto Marlies, the Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate. Cowen was then sent home by Toronto to await a buyout and given the opportunity to talk to other clubs about a new deal for the 2016–17 season; the Leafs will receive a $650,000 salary cap credit for the 2016–17 season.
Cowen was on waivers with the intention of buying him out of his $3.1 million contract at the end of the season. Cowen filed a grievance against the Toronto Maple Leafs, claiming that since he was on the injury reserve, he could not be drafted out of his deal. Cowen, a player under the age of 26, would only have been entitled to one-third of his remaining compensation if bought out. Cowen's complaint had been dismissed by an arbitrator, according to the company, and he would continue to be bought out.
Cowen as a free agent committed to a professional tryout contract to attend the 2017 training camp of the Colorado Avalanche after missing the entirety of the 2016–17 season recovering from injury. Cowen was released by Colorado after being on camp, with just one pre-season game remaining on September 27, 2017.
