Playing career

Junior

Timmins played minor midget with the Southern Tier Admirals of the South-Central Triple A Hockey League.[2] He was selected in the 4th round (79th overall) of the 2014 OHL Priority Selection by the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.[3] Timmins started his first season of junior hockey with the Thorold Blackhawks of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League before being traded to the St. Catharines Falcons.[4] He debuted for the Greyhounds in the 2015–16 season, scoring 13 points in 60 games.

In the 2016–17 season, Timmins scored 61 points (7 goals and 54 assists) and played in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.[5] Going into the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, Timmins was ranked the 18th best North American skater by NHL Central Scouting.[6] He was taken by the Colorado Avalanche with the first selection of the second round (32nd overall).[7] Timmins returned to the Greyhounds for the 2017–18 season, scoring 41 points (8 goals, 33 assists) in 36 games. He signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Avalanche on March 2, 2018.[8]

Professional

Timmins suffered a concussion at the end of his final season in junior hockey, and he continued to have symptoms that kept him from playing in any games for the Avalanche or their AHL affiliate, the Colorado Eagles in the 2018–19 season.[9]

On October 1, 2019, the Avalanche announced that Timmins had made the opening-night roster.[10] He made his NHL debut on the Avalanche's third defensive pairing in a 5–3 season opening victory over the Calgary Flames on October 3, 2019.[11] After his second game with the Avalanche, Timmins was reassigned to the Colorado Eagles on October 7, 2019.[12]

At the conclusion of his entry-level contract, as a restricted free agent, Timmins was traded by the Avalanche along with a first-round selection in 2022 and conditional third-round draft selection in 2024 to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for starting goaltender Darcy Kuemper on July 28, 2021.[13] He was later signed by the Coyotes, to a two-year, $1.7 million contract extension on August 6, 2021.[14]
