The Buffalo Sabres penalty kill allowed four goals over the final two games of the team's recently completed West Coast road trip, but help is on the way.
Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff announced Wednesday defenseman Conor Timmins is cleared to return from a broken leg suffered in mid-December.
"He's good to go," Ruff told Rachel Lenzi of the Buffalo News, though he didn't say whether the 27-year-old Canadian defender would play Wednesday night against the Boston Bruins.
The Sabres PK, which led the NHL in efficiency earlier in the 2025-26 season, hasn't been as effective as of late, as illustrated by the struggles over the past two contests.
