Minten was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Tuesday.
Minten's demotion is a good indication that David Kampf (lower body) will be available against the Stars on Wednesday -- though he is officially still on long-term IR. For this part, the 20-year-old Minten has appeared in 11 NHL games this year in which he generated two goals, two assists and 31 hits while averaging 12:47 of ice time. Should the need arise, Minten figures to remain atop the list of potential call-ups for the rest of the year.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Finds twine Monday
Rotowire
Minten scorer a goal and added five hits in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Minten has found the scoresheet in four of his five appearances so far, with his goal Monday being his second of the season. The 20-year-old has handled a third-line role, though the recent returns of Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies have bumped Minten out of the power-play mix. Minten has two goals, two assists, six shots on net and 12 hits so far while averaging 14:02 of ice time.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Posts power-play helper
Rotowire
Minten logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over Utah.
Minten has a goal and an assist over his first two NHL appearances this season. He didn't have any points over his first four career games in 2023-24. The 20-year-old is getting a chance to play as injuries have piled up among Toronto's forwards. He's filling a third-line role, but Minten could be headed back to AHL Toronto once Auston Matthews (upper body) or Max Domi (lower body) can return.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: First career goal a game-winner
Rotowire
Minten scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Golden Knights.
In just his fifth career NHL game and his first of the season, the 2022 second-round pick opened the scoring by snapping home a slick feed from William Nylander midway through the first period. That was all the offense Joseph Woll would need on the night. Minten missed the beginning of the campaign with an ankle injury, but in five games for AHL Toronto after getting healthy he recorded two goals and four points. The 20-year-old has the skills, speed and hockey IQ to fill a middle-six role for the Maple Leafs while the team deals with a rash of injuries, and he even saw some power-play shifts Wednesday. Minten could have some short-term fantasy value until the Toronto forward ranks are closer to full strength.

Maple Leafs' Fraser Minten: Hurts leg in prospects game
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
