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.
