The incident happened early in the first period of Sunday's contest. Tanev was chasing after the puck in the Maple Leafs' zone when Timmins cross-checked Tanev in the lower back and sent him into the boards. Tanev responded by going after Timmins, resulting in a scrum between the two teams. Timmins was given two minutes for cross-checking while Tanev got a two-minute penalty for roughing. The Maple Leafs would go on to win 3-1.
Timmins missed all of October and most of November this season with a lower-body injury. He has only played in two of Toronto's last 15 games.
In 15 appearances this season, the 25-year-old has one goal and five assists.
