Timmins has had an atrocious time trying to stay healthy since being drafted No.32 overall in 2017. Last season he was limited to just six games and is hurt just two games in 2022-23. Consider him questionable to play Monday until the Coyotes provide more details on his status.
Timmins original timetable was 8-to-12 weeks but news has surfaced that he will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury that he suffered on October 25th. Timmins was the main piece, along with a 2022 first-round pick and conditional third-round pick that the Coyotes acquired from Colorado in the Darcy Kuemper trade.
Timmins left Monday's game after playing just 10:05 TOI and did not return. The early indications are that Timmins will miss at least two months, which will put the Coyotes' blueline in a big conundrum.
Timmins has played in four straight games because the Avalanche lineup is banged up, but now he's the latest blueline to join the injury list. Timmins, who has been held pointless in 17 games this season, will be replaced by Greg Pateryn.
Timmins suited up in five straight games but played just 7:44 TOI on Wednesday. Jacob MacDonald will draw in to replace Timmins.
The Avalanche are loaded with NHL-ready defensemen and Timmins looks like he's seventh on the depth chart, so this could be a regular occurrence for the 22-year-old. Erik Johnson will replace him on Tuesday.
Timmins, who did not record a point while averaging just 10:24 TOI/gm in his first two career NHL games, heads to the Eagles where he’ll play a much larger role. The 2017 second-round pick (No.32 overall) had 41 points (8G / 33A) in 36 OHL games last year and will be a quality offensive defensman for the Eagles.
