Connor Timmins, the young defenseman, practiced on the Leafs' fourth pair, with injured Mark Giordano.
This season, in 13 games, Timmins scored six points, including one goal.
With Liljegren's return, as well as Benoit and Lagesson's rises, Timmins was slowly pushed to the team's last pairing. This should create a healthy internal competition between players that will push them to perfrom better.
