Maple Leafs place forward David Kampf on IR, recall centre Minten

TORONTO — The Maple Leafs announced Tuesday that they have placed forward David Kampf on injured reserve, putting more strain on Toronto’s already depleted forward lines.

The Leafs said Kampf is out with a lower-body injury and the move is retroactive to Saturday, when Kampf logged over 14 minutes of ice time in Toronto’s 4-3 overtime win over visiting Edmonton.

Kampf has three assists in 18 games for Toronto this season.

The Maple Leafs are also without captain and star centre Auston Matthews (upper-body injury) and veteran forwards Max Pacioretty (lower-body injury) and Calle Jarnkrok (groin, hernia) heading into a game Wednesday night against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights.

In a corresponding move, the Maple Leafs recalled centre Fraser Minten from the American Hockey League’s Toronto Marlies. The 20-year-old has two goals and two assists in five AHL games this season.
