Toronto Maple Leafs forward Fraser Minten knocks over Buffalo Sabres denfenceman Norman Ponacha in front of goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen during the Kraft Hockeyville pre-season NHL game at the Joe Thornton Community Centre in St. Thomas, Ontario.Conor Timmins looks ready to take one of the vacated positions on the Maple Leafs blueline, but the team hopes an injury to its biggest off-season pick-up on defence isn’t serious.
The 25-year-old excelled in his new surroundings in Toronto last season when acquired from Arizona, though he was mostly kept in developmental dry dock by the coaching staff when Luke Schenn and McCabe were added for the playoffs. Schenn and Justin Holl signed elsewhere in the summer and Jake Muzzin’s continued designation on injured reserve means Timmins has a green light.
It was a second strong game for PTO winger Noah Gregor on a line with Pontus Holmberg and Lafferty. Toronto’s third unit has some interesting possibilities with William Nylander’s projected move from wing to trying out at centre. But should Holmberg prove capable there after being squeezed off the roster last year by numbers, it would allow Nylander to stay in a familiar position if need be.
Knies and Nick Robertson also looked good at even strength among the younger generation trying to make an impression.
