Maple Leafs' Timothy Liljegren: First goal in 18 games
Liljegren scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Liljegren tied the game 1-1 early in the third period from just inside the right circle, banking a shot off Niko Mikkola's stick blade that fluttered through Jaroslav Halak's five-hole. It was Liljegren's first point in 10 games and his first goal in 18 appearances. The Leafs will release their playoff roster soon and it remains to be seen if Liljegren will be on the bench or in the media box to start the first round.

Liljegren saw his ice time drop to 10:52 in a 6-2 win over Florida on Thursday.

Maple Leafs' Timothy Liljegren: Goal and assist in win
Liljegren scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Liljegren set up a Mark Giordano tally in the first period and then scored one of his own later in the frame. Sunday's two-point effort snapped a 10-game dry spell for Liljegren, who went plus-2 with 13 shots on net and 18 blocked shots in that span. The 23-year-old blueliner has the potential to be a solid depth contributor, but fantasy managers will likely want to see him sustain some offense before picking him up. He has five goals, 10 helpers, 61 shots on net, 82 hits, 74 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 49 appearances this season.

Maple Leafs' Timothy Liljegren: Lights lamp twice Tuesday
Liljegren scored two goals on two shots and added four hits and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
In his third game of the season, Liljegren collected his first points by blasting home shots from both faceoffs circles, one in the first period and one in the second. The 23-year-old blueliner had a solid first NHL season in 2021-22 with five goals and 23 points in 61 games, and he's flashed some offensive upside in the AHL, but until he works his way into some power-play time for Toronto, his fantasy ceiling will be limited.
