Kimmo Timonen News

Timonen incurred a first-period injury, missing the final 9:37 before returning in the second period for three shifts, then leaving the game midway in for good.

We should have a further update on his status tomorrow. He has a goal and 23 assists in 38 games which is the most of any defenseman.

It is not known if Timonen had X-rays taken on his hand, but he saw a season-low amount of just 13:16 TOI, by far his lowest total this year. As a matter of fact, it was the first game he has not seen over 20 minutes of ice time.

Sounds like Timonen is hurt -- a blow to the team's defense. Stay tuned for a further update on the Finnish blue-liner.

Timonen will start the season with Andrej Meszaros, who he worked with in practice again on Tuesday.

Timonen should not be affected from the switch as Meszaros is a steady defender. Last season the Kuopio, Finland native scored six goals and 37 points in 82 games. He should continue manning the point on PP1 so expect around 40 points.
