Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic: It’s looking like Colorado Avalanche prospect Conor Timmins is doing better as he recovers from a concussion. There still is no timetable on when he can return.
Both the Avs and Timmins’ agent have said they won’t bring him back until he’s “really, really ready to go.”
Injured Senators close
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Ottawa Senators forward Bobby Ryan could be ready to return to the lineup today.
Forward Matt Duchene and defenseman Christian Jaros are also close to returning.
