The Rock added to their lead in the middle frame getting an even strength effort from Wayne Mathieu and one on the power play thanks to Jordan Rendle to put the visitors up by three through 40 minutes.
Timmins then wrapped up the win as Jared Hester supplied a man advantage effort with 11:11 left to wrap-up the scoring.
Ryan Kerr and Joe Olson dished out two assists each in the triumph for the Rock.
Logan Ferrington made 30 saves to record the win for Timmins while Matt Blattenberger saw 39 shots fired his way in defeat for Blind River.
