Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Produces assist Thursday
Rotowire
Timmins notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Timmins ended a four-game slump when he helped out on Max Pacioretty's second-period tally, which ended up being the game-winner. The 26-year-old Timmins is holding down a third-pairing role, and the Maple Leafs' defensive logjam has been partially cleared by Utah claiming Dakota Mermis off waivers. Timmins is at six points, 24 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 17 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 27 appearances. His spot in the lineup is likely to be safe until Jani Hakanpaa (knee) returns.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Logs helper in win
Rotowire
Timmins notched an assist and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Timmins ended his seven-game point drought with the helper. The 26-year-old defenseman has been a frequent presence in the lineup this season, though typically in a bottom-four role with minimal upside. He has five points, 20 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 14 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 22 appearances. Timmins could still be pressured for his spot in the lineup by Philippe Myers and Marshall Rifai.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Pots goal Saturday
Rotowire
Timmins scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Timmins opened the scoring at 14:55 of the first period. The 26-year-old looks to have a regular role on the third pairing this season, though that could change once Jani Hakanpaa (knee) is ready to return. Timmins has four points, 11 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-5 rating through 14 appearances, and he continues to fend off Philippe Myers and Matt Benning for playing time.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Picks apple in loss
Rotowire
Timmins tallied an assist Saturday in a 4-2 loss to the Blues.
Timmins has played in 10 of the Leafs' 12 games, and he has recorded three assists, 11 blocks, eight shots and four hits. His greatest fantasy value would be tied to power-play deployment, but he's not in line for that, at least right now. Leave Timmins on the wire.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Offers helper in Monday's win
Rotowire
Timmins registered an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.
Timmins has two assists, six shots on net, four blocked shots and four PIM over five appearances this season. He's in a third-pairing role, but he appears to be the Maple Leafs' preferred option for the right side of that pairing over Timothy Liljegren. The 26-year-old Timmins has never posted more than 14 points or played in more than 31 games, but if he can maintain a regular role, he could shattered those marks in 2024-25.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Generates assist
Rotowire
Timmins logged an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Devils.
Timmins has maintained a third-pairing spot for both of the Maple Leafs' games so far, leaving Timothy Liljegren to serve as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Timmins produced 10 points in 25 regular-season contests last season, but he also saw some time on the second power-play unit, which isn't expected to happen in 2024-25. His 2023-24 was interrupted by mononucleosis, but he's healthy now and seems to have a leg up to sticking in the lineup regularly this season.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Moves to LTIR
Rotowire
Timmins (illness) was moved to long-term injured reserve Thursday.
Timmins has played only 16 games in the 2023-24 campaign, registering one goal and five assists. The 25-year-old has averaged 15:45 of ice time over that stretch. He potentially could be back if the Leafs make a serious playoff push, but don't expect much production from him if he's able to get healthy.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Ready to return
Rotowire
Timmins (illness) told reporters he has "turned the corner" and would be ready to play when needed, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports Tuesday.
Timmins must still be activated off injured reserve before returning to the ice. The acquisition of Ilya Lyubushkin will only push Timmins further down the depth chart even once eligible to suit up. As such, fantasy players can likely pursue alternative options moving forward.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Timmins (illness) won't be available to play Saturday versus Ottawa, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Timmins, who has been a healthy scratch for the past three games, should be considered day-to-day. Mark Giordano (lower body) won't play Saturday, so William Lagesson will fill in on the blue line. Timmins has six points, 14 shots on goal, 17 blocked shots and 18 hits across 16 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Timmins was a healthy scratch in the Maple Leafs' last two games.
The return of Timothy Liljegren has rebalanced the blue line, and Timmins is the odd man out given his defensive restrictions. He's more of an offensive option, so watch for him to draw into the lineup as the seventh man or if one of the power-play guys gets hurt. Either way, Timmins probably shouldn't be holding a spot on your fantasy roster.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Returns to action Friday
Rotowire
Timmins (lower body) has been activated from long-term injured reserve and will be in the lineup Friday versus Chicago.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Deemed healthy, team debut TBD
Rotowire
General manager Kyle Dubas said Timmins (upper body) is fully healthy, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
Dubas refused to elaborate on when Timmins might be available to make his Maple Leafs debut, as he still needs to get up to speed with his new team. The 24-year-old will link up with the Leafs in Minnesota, but he's likely to serve as a healthy scratch for at least one game before drawing in.
