Buffalo Sabres defenseman Conor Timmins is expected to miss six to eight weeks after breaking his left leg in the third period of a 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, head coach Lindy Ruff announced.
Timmins' left skate appeared to catch a rut in the ice, causing his leg to bend awkwardly with 5:20 remaining in the third period.
He is expected to be sidelined until after the February break for the Olympics.
Signed to a two-year, $4.4 million contract in the offseason, Timmins has recorded six assists and a minus-11 rating in 33 games this season.
Timmins, 27, has totaled 52 points (six goals, 46 assists) and a plus-10 rating in 192 career games with the Colorado Avalanche, Arizona Coyotes, Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins and Sabres since the 2019-20 season.
He was selected by the Avalanche in the second round of the 2017 NHL Draft.
