Unfortunately, Minten was a scratch against the New Jersey Devils and he was also a scratch against the Montreal Canadiens.
However, he is going to play tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning as the team makes sweeping changes to the lineup
Knies - Matthews - Marner
McMann - Holmberg - Nylander
Domi - Minten - Robertson
Dewar - Kampf - Lorentz

Rielly - McCabe
Ekman-Larsson - Tanev

Essentially, Minten will center the third line between Max Domi and Nick Robertson.
As for the second line, that will be centered by the likes of Pontus Holmberg who is getting a huge promotion here.
Overall, this is going to be fascinating to watch, as fans are very interested in the success of the young prospect.
Hopefully, he is able to prove himself and show the Leafs that they have no choice but to keep him around.
