TIMOTHY LILJEGREN NEWS

Practices Sunday Liljegren (illness) participated in Sunday's practice, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Impact Liljegren should be available for Monday's game against Boston after sitting out Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders. Marc-Edouard Vlasic played through an illness in Saturday's defeat and skipped Sunday's practice. Still, Vlasic could play versus the Bruins on Monday. Henry Thrun might be a healthy scratch if Liljegren and Vlasic are in Monday's lineup.

Deposits power-play goal Liljegren scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Liljegren ended a six-game slump with the tally, which was his first goal since Nov. 29. The 25-year-old defenseman was scratched Dec. 19, but he's been in the lineup for the eight games since, so it appears he's regained some security while Shakir Mukhamadullin and Marc-Edouard Vlasic battle for the last spot on the blue line. Liljegren has eight points, 51 shots on net, 39 hits, 42 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 31 appearances between the Sharks and the Maple Leafs in 2024-25.

Logs assist Liljegren notched an assist and five hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact Liljegren was scratched Thursday against the Avalanche, but he took the place of Shakir Mukhamadullin in Saturday's lineup. The helper was Liljegren's second over eight appearances in December. The 25-year-old blueliner is up to seven points, 42 shots on net, 33 hits, 32 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 24 appearances between the Sharks and the Maple Leafs this season. Liljegren's had a fair amount of job security in San Jose, but the team has three young defensemen to fill out two spots in the lineup, so he may be scratched occasionally.

Point streak at four games Liljegren notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

The defenseman is up to five points through 16 outings this season, and he's added 21 hits, 21 blocked shots and 27 shots on net. Liljegren is holding onto a second-pairing role, and if he can stay consistent on offense, he'll be an option in fantasy as a depth blueliner.

Scores again Friday Liljegren scored a goal, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 8-5 win over the Kraken.

Impact Liljegren has two goals and an assist over his last three contests, a span in which the Sharks have scored 18 times.

He has four points, 26 shots on net, 21 hits, 20 blocked shots and 10 PIM across 15 appearances. If Liljegren can sustain decent offense, he'll be a depth option for fantasy blue lines.

This was Liljegren's second tally in 12 outings since he was traded from Toronto. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to 22 shots on net, 20 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 13 appearances this season. He looks to have a steady spot in the Sharks' lineup, but he'll need to prove himself more on offense to be an option for most fantasy managers.

Sharks acquire defenseman Timothy Liljegren in a trade with the Maple Leafs

The San Jose Sharks have acquired defenseman Timothy Liljegren from the Toronto Maple Leafs

OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dealt to San Jose Liljegren was traded from the Maple Leafs to the Sharks on Wednesday, in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick, a 2026 sixth-round pick and Matt Benning.

Impact Liljegren has fallen out of favor with the Maple Leafs, but he should get a larger opportunity to play with the Sharks. The 25-year-old is also under contract for one more year. Liljegren will likely get bottom-four minutes once he makes his Sharks debut, but the lack of proven talent on his new team's blue line gives him a better chance to earn a bigger role.
