Is this Timothy Liljegren's last chance to become a top-four defenceman? With Morgan Rielly currently suspended for five games, can Liljegren prove himself as a reliable and viable top-four defender?

Pair of points in loss Liljegren scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact Liljegren got the Maple Leafs on the board early in the third period and helped out on Nick Robertson's tally in the final minute. Both of Liljegren's multi-point efforts have come in the last five games, a span in which he has one goals and four helpers. The 24-year-old is at six points, 14 shots on net, 18 hits, 41 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 17 appearances. He should continue to hold down a bottom-four role with power-play time, which could give him fantasy appeal in deeper formats.

Timothy Liljegren Puts Maple Leafs On Board With His First Of Season vs. Hurricanes

Two helpers in Buffalo Liljegren collected two assists, one on the power play and one shorthanded, in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Sabres.
Impact He also added five blocked shots, three shots on net, two hits and a minus-1 rating to his ledger. It's the first multi-point performance of the season for Liljegren, who missed six weeks earlier this season due to an ankle injury, and through 13 contests he has zero goals and three helpers. The 24-year-old blueliner has supplied a little extra fantasy value with 33 blocked shots, including 15 in three games since his return to the lineup, but Liljegren would likely need to work his way up to Toronto's first power-play unit to be worth rostering in most formats.

Returns to action Saturday Liljegren (ankle) will return to the lineup versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to David Alter of Sports Illustrated.
Impact Liljegren missed over six weeks after he suffered a high-ankle sprain versus the Bruins on Nov. 2. The defenseman is expected to pair with Morgan Rielly as T.J. Brodie may be unavailable. Liljegren has only one assist in 10 games this season.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still working toward return Liljegren (ankle) is close to getting back into the lineup but needs to work up his conditioning, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports Thursday.
Impact Liljegren won't be ready to face the Jackets on Thursday but could be an option shortly thereafter, perhaps even against the Penguins on Saturday. Until the 24-year-old blueliner is cleared to play, Simon Benoit figures to remain in the third pairing.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Practicing Saturday Liljegren (ankle) is back at practice Saturday, according to Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun.
Impact Liljegren is seeing time at the morning skate as the seventh defenseman. Liljegren has been out of action since Nov. 2 when he was injured against the Bruins. This is the first time Liljegren has practiced with the team and is a big step towards his return to the lineup. Liljegren has one assist in 10 games this season.

Maple Leafs try to regroup with Liljegren placed on LTIR | NHL.com Defenseman ‘going to miss significant time’ with high ankle sprain sustained against Bruins
NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • NHL.COM
Leafs' Liljegren to miss 'significant' time with ankle sprain Liljegren suffered the injury in Thursday's shootout loss to the Boston Bruins.
NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Placed on long-term injured reserve The Maple Leafs put Liljegren (lower body) on long-term injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Liljegren was injured Thursday when he fell awkwardly into the end boards when he was battling for the puck with the Bruins' Brad Marchand. It's a tough loss for the Maple Leafs as Liljegren was eating up valuable minutes as a second-unit defenseman. Liljegren had one assist, 18 blocked shots and eight hits in 10 games this season.

Why Timothy Liljegren's injury is such 'a big loss' for the Maple Leafs The impact of losing a bona fide top-four defenceman in Liljegren is going to linger for the Leafs.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Will miss significant time Liljegren's lower-body injury is significant and he will miss time, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Head coach Sheldon Keefe provided that update after the Maple Leafs' 3-2 shootout loss to the Bruins. Liljegren was hurt in a collision with Brad Marchand. With Liljegren out and Jake McCabe (groin) not ready to play yet, the Maple Leafs will likely need to make a call-up prior to Saturday's game versus the Sabres.

Exits contest Liljegren (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Bruins.
Impact Liljegren was hurt after logging just 4:49 of ice time in the contest. This is the second time in a week he's left a game early, but his previous injury was an upper-body issue. If Liljegren can't shake off this injury before Saturday's game versus the Sabres, the Maple Leafs will have to either call up a defenseman or play one player short to unlock the ability for emergency recalls.
NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Liljegren (upper body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus Los Angeles, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.
Impact Liljegren exited Saturday's loss to the Predators with an upper-body issue after recording just 11:45 of ice time, but it appears the injury that forced him from that contest wasn't overly serious. Look for the 24-year-old Swede, who's picked up one helper through eight games this season, to skate on the second pairing and the second power-play unit against the Kings.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Injury clarified Liljegren suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Predators, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Impact The Maple Leafs initially reported Liljegren's injury was a lower-body issue when he exited the contest. In any case, the defenseman remains day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Kings.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers lower-body injury Liljegren sustained a lower-body injury and is doubtful to return to Saturday's game versus Nashville.
Impact Liljegren left the contest midway through the second period after absorbing a hit from the Predators' Yakov Trenin, David Alter of Sports Illustrated reports. Going into Saturday's action, Liljegren had an assist, five hits and 13 blocks in seven appearances while averaging 20:16 of ice time this season. Another Maple Leafs defenseman, Jake McCabe, suffered a lower-body injury Thursday, so Toronto will probably need to call someone up if neither blueliner is available for Tuesday's contest against the Kings.
