Leafs make another blue-line move, recalling Liljegren from the AHL Marlies
TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have made another blue-line move, recalling Timothy Liljegren from the American Hockey League Marlies
On Monday, the team summoned Swedish teenager Rasmus Sandin from their top farm team and placed Morgan Rielly on injured reserve, saying he will be out a minimum of eight weeks with a fractured foot.
Rielly was hurt blocking a shot in Sunday’s 8-4 road loss against the Florida Panthers.
The Leafs have been without Jake Muzzin — another top-4 defenceman — since he broke his foot Dec. 27. The team said at the time the 30-year-old was listed as week-to-week, but he was placed on IR before Sunday’s loss.
