Timothy Liljegren News
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren (undisclosed) will draw back into the lineup for Game 5 on Tuesday versus the Boston Bruins. The Swede didn't dress for Game 4 on Saturday, as head coach Sheldon Keefe said Liljegren wasn't 100 percent healthy as the reasoning for the scratch. It doesn't appear Liljegren agrees with that notion. "I don't know, I feel good," Liljegren said. "I was a bit surprised (to come out), but it is what it is." Liljegren is expected to take the spot of T.J. Brodie, who drew in for the first time in the series on Saturday. The 2017 first-round pick turns 25 years old on Tuesday and notched three goals and 23 points on 62 shots on goal with another 116 blocks across 55 games this season.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren (upper body) could be available to the team prior to the postseason. The blue-liner suffered an upper-body injury in a 6-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on March 26 and has not appeared since. He joined his team's optional morning skate prior to Thursday's contest against the very same Devils team. The Maple Leafs have four games remaining in the regular season. "It's not ruled out. There's a chance," head coach Sheldon Keefe said in regards to whether Liljegren could return prior to the playoffs. "Probably it would just be those last two games that would be good in consideration, but it's possible." The Swede has recorded three goals and 23 points in 52 games as he missed significant time with a high-ankle sprain suffered earlier in the season.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren is nursing an upper-body injury and is expected to be out of the lineup for "some time." Liljegren came out of the lineup Thursday versus Washington, and it looks like he will be forced to miss multiple games. Mark Giordano was activated from long-term Injured Reserve on Thursday and replaced Liljegren in the lineup. Morgan Rielly (upper body) missed a second consecutive game, meaning the Maple Leafs are left quite thin at the back. However, there's hope that Rielly can make a quick return, and it's possible he will be ready for action on Saturday versus Buffalo.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against the visiting New York Rangers. The 24-year-old missed Tuesday's loss to the Vegas Golden Knights as well as Thursday's victory over the Arizona Coyotes due to an undisclosed ailment. Liljegren also missed significant time earlier in the season due to a high-ankle sprain suffered in a Nov. 11 game against the Boston Bruins, costing him six weeks of action. Liljegren has registered two goals and 16 points across 40 games on the season while averaging a career-high 19:27 of average ice time per game. He has also added 57 hits and 87 blocked shots to his ledger. The Maple Leafs are winners of seven of their last eight games heading into Saturday's tilt with the red-hot Rangers.
