The Toronto Maple Leafs are close to having Timothy Liljegren back in the lineup.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been without Liljegren all season so far as he recovers from a hernia.
Liljegren is with the Toronto Marlies on a conditioning stint for three games. Game one happened Wednesday night against the Syracuse Crunch, and Liljegren looked good.
I took in the game on Wednesday night and paid close attention to Liljegren. The young defenseman had hernia surgery during the off-season and missed training camp and preseason.

These games with the Marlies will help Liljegren get up to speed.
