Sabres' Timmins Suffers Broken Leg, Expected to Miss 6-8 Weeks

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Conor Timmins is expected to miss 6-8 weeks after breaking his left leg in the third period of Thursday's 5-3 win against the Philadelphia Flyers. The non-contact injury occurred with 5:20 left in regulation, with a replay suggesting his left skate caught a rut. The 27-year-old, in his first year with the Sabres, has recorded six assists in 32 games this season. The injury is projected to sideline him through the NHL's Olympic break in February.
