His pace this season is sub-40, something he hasn't seen since the turn of the century. And he's outside the top-40 offensive defenders right now. He has actually become a spot starter in some formats. Hard to believe.
News: Timonen has a lower-body injury, the Philadelphia Daily News' Frank Seravalli reports.
Analysis: That's the extent of the information available at this time, which is to say, we know almost nothing about the nature or severity of the injury. He should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Analysis: Despite his failure to rack up multi-point affairs, Timonen is still two points away from his eighth straight season of at least 40 points. He has played par for the course. Unfortunately, Timonen's scoring is still down and that is why he is more of a No. 3 Fantasy defenseman.

Analysis: Despite the recent slide, Timonen has played pretty decent hockey since the New Year. He had a season-high eight points in January. Timonen has also been a plus-player since November. It's just unfortunate for a third straight season Timonen is no longer a top-scoring threat. Timonen is no worse than a No. 3 Fantasy blueliner.

Analysis: Timonen has 21 points in 41 appearances. He is on pace for another 40-point campaign, but Timonen definitely is having his scoring slumps in 2009-10. He is more of a No. 3 Fantasy blueliner until he starts producing on a more regular basis.
News:Kimmo Timonen broke a third-period tie with 9:32 left, then added a short-handed empty-netter to lead the Flyers during a 3-1 win on Monday against the Bruins.

Timonen made it 2-1 with a shot from the blue line that was deflected on its way to the net, sailing over Tim Thomas' right shoulder as he held out his glove, never moving, to the left. Boston had a chance to tie it when Scott Hartnell hit Mark Recchi in the face with his stick and gave Boston, which had pulled the goalie, a two-man advantage. But Timonen found the empty net from behind the faceoff circle in his own zone, clinching the victory.
Analysis: Timonen had only two points in the previous eight games -- a pair of assists against the Islanders last Tuesday. His last two-goal game was in 2007. Like most of the Flyers, Timonen has been in an offensive rut. They are hoping the coaching change to Peter Lavilotte will spark the troops and get the offense going. Timonen owners can only hope since the veteran has high-end Fantasy potential.
News: D Kimmo Timonen recorded his 400th point in the NHL with an assist Saturday night against the Sabres. Timonen has an assist in six of his last seven games and seven helpers in that span.
Analysis: Timonen has really been on a roll the last few weeks after going through a bit of an offensive slump in the middle of October. The pressure is off Timonen in 2009-10 since the arrival of Chris Pronger. He is still going to be involved heavily on offense, so continue to view Timonen as a high-end Fantasy option.

News:The Sports Xchange reports when the Flyers play host to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night, coach John Stevens might want to distribute his ice time more equally among his defensemen. Otherwise, Kimmo Timonen's legs might start feeling a lot older than 33 years. With two of the Flyers' top six defensemen expected to miss at least the first three months of the season, Timonen logged more than 30 minutes of ice time in the Flyer's season-opening 4-3 loss to the New York Rangers Saturday night. That's more ice time than Timonen logged at any time last season, including overtime games.
Analysis: With Randy Jones expected to miss 12-16 weeks because of hip surgery and Ryan Parent expected to miss 12-14 weeks because of shoulder surgery, general manager Paul Holmgren is looking to make a move on his blue line. He can call up Nate Guenin of the Phantoms, make a trade for an NHL veteran or pull defenseman Derian Hatcher off the long-term injury list. Either way, anyway to help bring down Timonen's minutes is a good move in keeping one of their top offensive players healthy. Timonen continues to be a safe bet as a No. 2 or No. 3 Fantasy defenseman.
