Mintyukov didn't play in Saturday's preseason tilt against Los Angeles because of an illness, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Mintyukov had eight goals, 22 points, 39 hits and 112 blocks in 73 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. The Ducks don't have their regular-season opener until Friday in Vegas, so Mintyukov might still be fine for that game.
