GM Kyle Dubas and coach Sheldon Keefe have two weeks left to figure out what they have on their blueline.
“That was pretty cool ,” said Timmins. “It was my first one at home. Matty made a nice pass and I was just lucky enough to get it through a screen.”“I just had to stay patient,” said Timmins. “Obviously, we have a super strong team and there’s so many guys that can come in and do a good job in the role. So I was just trying to work on things I can improve on.”“I thought he was good. Great goal. Moved the puck well,” said Keefe.
Timmins missed a lot of hockey since turning pro, due to injuries, and hasn’t had the development time others his age have had to grow their game defensively. On Wednesday, Timmins was inserted ahead of Justin Holl – scratched for the first time this season – an interesting coincidence. At six-foot-two and 202 pounds, Timmins is the most likely candidate to replace Holl if he leaves as a free agent in the summer.
