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
Rotowire
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.
