Maple Leafs Make Surprising Roster Move Ahead of Wednesday's Game Against Washington
Toronto Recalls Timothy Liljegren From The Marlies
Move Made Due To Injury To Jake Muzzin
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a surprising roster move ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Capitals, recalling Timothy Liljegren from the Toronto Marlies.
The move was made due to an injury to Jake Muzzin, who suffered a facial injury in Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Muzzin is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
Liljegren, 23, has been playing well for the Marlies this season, with 2 goals and 12 assists in 26 games.
The Maple Leafs are hoping that Liljegren can provide some stability to their blueline, which has been struggling lately. The team has allowed 4 or more goals in each of their last 5 games.
