Mintyukov sustained a separated shoulder Tuesday versus Nashville and is expected to miss six weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Mintyukov has been a pleasant surprise in his rookie season, but he'll now miss a large chunk of time. He has 19 points over 40 appearances. Robert Hagg and Gustav Lindstrom figure to compete for the newly open playing time, while Cam Fowler should be a steady power-play presence during Mintyukov's absence.
