Fraser Minten and Ben Danford were injured last week in separate incidents, and the Leafs have since provided important updates on their statuses ahead of camp.
The Maple Leafs' prospects took on the Canadiens' prospects this past weekend in Montreal during a shortened rookie camp. The Leafs ended up winning both games, but lost two key prospects in Minten and Danford to freak injuries.
Following the conclusion of game two yesterday, Marlies head coach and coach of the rookie team John Gruden provided positive updates on the pair, stating that the Leafs are hopeful that both will be ready for main camp, which is slated to start on Wednesday this week.
Although Gruden didn't provide updates on the nature of the injuries sustained, the fact the team believes both should be ready for training camp this week bodes well, particularly for Minten, who is expected to challenge for a roster spot after earning a 4-game audition last season.
