Bowen Byram and Connor Timmins Pairing
We’re all watching for how these two defensemen even show in the Rookie Faceoff, but for different reasons. Byram is our fourth-overall draft pick from this season, and he’s gunning to make the NHL team. Timmins missed a full year of hockey due to concussion symptoms, so we want to see him bounce back.
Well, both prospects looked really good at rookie camp, especially Timmins. It sure would be fun to see them paired together in the games.
This pairing has merit and could be a glimpse into the future. Timmins shoots right, Byram left. More importantly, they both play a puck-moving game, with Byram having the edge in skating. But both Timmins and Byram can score.
We’ll see if the coaching staff pairs them for the games.
