Timmins and Connor Dewar were traded to the Penguins from the Maple Leafs on Friday in exchange for a 2025 fifth-round draft pick, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Timmins will be the latest blueliner to get a look on the Penguins' third pairing. The 26-year-old was limited to eight points in 51 outings, but he picked up 24 points over 52 contests across the previous two seasons, spending the bulk of that time with the Maple Leafs. He's also seen power-play time previously in his career, but that's unlikely in Pittsburgh while both Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson are around.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Contributes goal in Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Timmins netted a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.
Timmins gave his team a 2-0 lead after sniping one past Joel Blomqvist early in the opening frame. The goal was Timmins' second of the season and first since Nov. 9. The right-shot blueliner has chipped in two goals and six helpers over 49 games this season. Timmins' minimal role and output across all categories limits his appeal in most fantasy formats.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Suffers upper-body injury
Rotowire
Timmins is expected to miss Thursday's clash against Seattle due to an upper-body injury, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
Timmins was helped to the bench after being elbowed by Yegor Sharangovich during Tuesday's 6-3 win over Calgary. Timmins managed to stay in the game, but it seems he will still miss time due to the injury. He has a goal and seven points in 44 outings in 2024-25. Philippe Myers might draw back into the lineup while Timmins is unavailable.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Staying in lineup amid slump
Rotowire
Timmins played for the eighth straight game Wednesday in a 5-1 loss to the Blue Jackets, but he has been held off the scoresheet in his last 12 outings.
Timmins' grasp on a third-pairing spot in the Maple Leafs' lineup is tenuous at best, especially when he's not adding much on offense. The 26-year-old blueliner has seven points, 46 shots on net, 30 hits, 61 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 42 appearances. Philippe Myers and Simon Benoit have been scratches more recently, but Timmins could also be rotated out of the lineup at some point. His limited offense makes him a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Notches helper Friday
Rotowire
Timmins offered an assist and blocked six shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
Timmins helped out on a Nicholas Robertson goal in the second period, which stretched the Maple Leafs' lead to 3-0. With two helpers over his last four appearances, Timmins has been alright on offense. He was also scratched once in that span, so his place in the lineup isn't fully safe. The 26-year-old has seven points, 26 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 18 PIM, 17 hits and a plus-9 rating over 30 appearances.

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: 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: Out indefinitely
Rotowire
Timmins has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and is considered out indefinitely, Mark Masters of TSN reports. He was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
The Maple Leafs will want to be sure Timmins is no longer contagious before allowing him to rejoin the team. The 25-year-old defender has picked up six points while averaging just 15:45 of ice time through 16 top-level appearances this year.

Maple Leafs' Conor Timmins: Unavailable Tuesday
Rotowire
Timmins (illness) won't be an option Tuesday against the Blues, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

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.

Rotowire
Timmins (lower body) hasn't been ruled out Friday versus Detroit, but he's more likely to return for Sunday's game against Minnesota, coach Sheldon Keefe told Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun on Wednesday.
Timmins hasn't played yet this season due to the lower-body injury. He had two goals and 14 points in 27 contests in 2022-23 between Arizona and Toronto. When he returns, Timmins will likely serve in a third-pairing role.

Rotowire
Timmins (lower body) is considered week-to-week, per Chris Johnston of TSN.
Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Monday that Timmins has a "significant" lower-body injury. The 25-year-old Timmins had two goals, 12 assists and 23 hits in 25 appearances with Toronto last season. He might begin the 2023-24 campaign on the injured reserve list.
