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.

Set to play Sunday Liljegren (upper body) will be in the lineup against Detroit on Sunday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Suffers upper-body injury Liljegren exited Saturday's clash against Colorado because of an upper-body injury and won't return to the game.

Impact Liljegren had no points in 7:20 of ice time before departing Saturday. That gives him three assists in nine outings this season, including the matchup against the Avalanche. If Liljegren isn't available for Sunday's tilt against Detroit, then Vincent Iorio might draw back into the lineup.

Adds two helpers in win Liljegren notched two assists, three shots on goal, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Liljegren has earned all three of his assists over the last three contests. The 26-year-old had a hand in goals by Alex Wennberg and Tyler Toffoli in this game. Liljegren's power-play time tends to vary depending on if Sam Dickinson is in the lineup, and the Sharks have a decision to make since Dickinson has now played in nine games and will burn the first year of his entry-level deal if he makes a 10th appearance. If Dickinson is ultimately reassigned to his junior team, Liljegren's fantasy value would get a boost. Liljegren has added eight shots on net, 10 hits, 18 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through eight appearances.

Liljegren looks poised to spend most of his time this season in a top-four role with a chance to feature on a power-play unit. The 26-year-old has added five shots on net, 15 blocked shots, six hits and four PIM.
