Rookie Fraser Minten skated on a line with Matthew Knies and Calle Jarnkrok at Monday's practice, showcasing his potential for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The team plans to evaluate Minten moving forward. Klingberg leads Toronto's defense in ice-time with almost 25 minutes in their shootout-win over Montreal, forming a budding relationship with fellow-Swede William Nylander. The Leafs aim for a stronger October than previous years.
