Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Suits up at forward Tuesday
Rotowire
Timmins played 9:12 in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Timmins moved up to forward Tuesday night, and he ended up delivering one hit and one shot. It's his second appearance this month and since February. Given the depth of the Leafs' blue line, Timmins is likely to be a black ace through the postseason. However, he's inked through 2024-25 at a modest $1.1 million, so he could earn a 5/6/7 role next season.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Two assists against old team
Rotowire
Timmins notched a pair of power-play assists and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Coyotes.
Timmins only got into eight games for the Coyotes between last season and this one before he was dealt to the Maple Leafs in November. He's been an instant success for Toronto, picking up eight helpers (three on the power play) over the last 10 games while handling a regular bottom-four role. Timmins has set a new career high in points with that production, though he could lose his everyday place in the lineup once Rasmus Sandin (neck) returns from injured reserve.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Grabs three helpers in win
Rotowire
Timmins had three assists in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Anaheim.
Timmins picked up helpers on the first three Maple Leaf goals after coming into the contest with just one point on the season. The 24-year-old defenseman was recalled on Dec. 6 due to a rash of injuries on Toronto's blueline and he made the most of his opportunity Tuesday. Timmins' longest stretch of NHL action came in 2020 with Colorado, where he logged eight assists in 31 games. Despite his performance Tuesday, He could see more opportunities going forward as the Leafs still have five defenseman on IR, though three-point games shouldn't be counted on as the norm. Timmins now has four assists in six games this season.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Heading to Leafs
Rotowire
Timmins (upper body) was acquired by Toronto on Wednesday from Arizona in exchange for Curtis Douglas, per Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports.
Timmins hasn't played in the NHL since Oct. 15 because of the injury. However, he was sent to AHL Tucson on Nov. 8 for a conditioning stint. He has three assists and 12 PIM in six AHL contests. Toronto is missing defensemen T.J. Brodie (oblique), Carl Dahlstrom (shoulder), Jake Muzzin (cervical spine) and Morgan Rielly (knee), so if Timmins is ready to return, then he has an opportunity to play a big role with the Maple Leafs.
