Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Lands on injured reserve
Minten (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Minten sustained a high-ankle sprain during a prospects game in mid-September, and he'll miss time to begin the regular season. It's not yet clear whether he'll join the Maple Leafs once he's healthy, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him spend time in the minors once he's able to return. The 20-year-old logged 48 points in 43 WHL appearances last season.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Dealing with high-ankle sprain
Minten is facing weeks on the sideline due to a high-ankle sprain, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Minten was a long shot to make the Opening Night roster even prior to getting hurt, but now he almost certainly won't be with the team when it faces the Canadiens on Oct. 9. The 20-year-old winger racked up 48 points in 43 WHL contests with Kamploops and Saskatoon last year, the type of offensive display that saw him drafted 38th overall by Toronto in the 2022 NHL Draft. Look for Minten to start the season in the minors with the Marlies once given the all-clear.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Hurts leg in prospects game
Minten sustained a leg injury in Toronto's prospects game versus Montreal on Sunday, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
Minten was shaken up and ultimately had to exit the contest after taking a hit from Montreal's David Reinbacher. Minten will be evaluated when he returns to Toronto, and the team is hopeful that he will be ready for training camp. The 20-year-old center is battling for a roster spot on the Maple Leafs after appearing in four regular-season outings with the big club in 2023-24. An update on Minten's status should become available before Toronto's Sept. 22 preseason opener against Ottawa.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Returning to juniors
Minten was reassigned to WHL Kamloops on Friday.
Minten played in four games for the Leafs this season, in which he recorded three shots, three hits and two PIM while averaging 11:26 of ice time. The 19-year-old center's return to the junior ranks shouldn't come as a surprise after he was a healthy scratch for the previous three games. Pontus Holmberg should see more minutes with Minten out of the picture.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Makes Opening Night roster
Minten has made Toronto's Opening Night roster, NHL.com reports.
Minten, a 2022 second-round pick, performed well enough in camp to stick with the big club for the start of the 2023-24 campaign, but there's still a chance he'll return to the WHL before hitting the 10-game mark with the Maple Leafs in order to avoid burning a year off his entry-level contract. Look for Minten to skate on the third line during Wednesday's season opener versus Montreal.
