Now that the game has ended we have gotten an update on Liljegren and unfortunately, the news is not good.
Per @lukefoxjukebox, Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe says Timothy Liljegren will miss «significant time.»
Sheldon Keefe calls Timothy Liljegren's injury «significant» and «not short-term.»
While the injury specifics have not been confirmed the Maple Leafs are preparing to be without Liljegren for a significant amount of time. Liljegren had been off to a good start this season playing an average around 20 minutes a night. Now the Maple Leafs will have to fill a huge hole on an already struggling blue line.
