Traded at deadline Liljegren was flipped to the Capitals from the Sharks on Friday in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick.

Impact Liljegren isn't exactly an offensive stud, so he's far from a replacement for John Carlson, who was sent to Anaheim in a separate deal early Friday morning. Still, there should be an open roster spot on the backend for the 26-year-old Liljegren, where he figures to serve in a shutdown role.

Impact Liljegren has two points over his last three outings. The 26-year-old defenseman has played a majority of the time lately, but he offers only modest upside on offense.

Two helpers in return Liljegren notched two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Liljegren returned from missing five games due to an upper-body injury. Any plans to ease him ended when Shakir Mukhamadullin (undisclosed) left the contest early -- Liljegren ended up logging 21:39 of ice time. He's up to six helpers, 18 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 26 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 29 appearances. The 26-year-old's defense still needs some work, but he could be in line for power-play usage as long as he can stay healthy, though that role could shrink once John Klingberg (lower body) gets back in action.

Impact Liljegren missed five straight games due to the injury. He has four assists, 18 PIM, 25 hits and 63 blocks in 28 appearances with San Jose this season. His anticipated return to the lineup might coincide with the exit of John Klingberg (undisclosed), who is doubtful for Saturday's game.

Impact Liljegren is still day-to-day and will miss his fifth straight game. He has registered four assists, 18 shots on goal, 63 blocked shots and 25 hits in 28 appearances this season. If Shakir Mukhamadullin (lower body) is unavailable to play against the Wild, Nick Leddy will probably draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the last two games.
