Liljegren scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
Liljegren tied the game at 1-1 with a goal at the 6:08 mark of the second period, following assists from Dylan Strome and Ryan Leonard. The 27-year-old defenseman, who signed a two-year deal to return to Washington last May, has recorded more than 20 points just twice in his career, and this was his first point of the 2026-27 campaign. Don't expect him to bring a ton of upside in most formats.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 10
Liljegren agreed to terms on a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Washington on Wednesday.
Liljegren appeared in just four regular-season games for the Caps last year after he was acquired at the trade deadline from the Sharks. If the 27-year-old blueliner can get back to being the 20-point producer he was with the Maple Leafs, he'll be worth his new contract, though it's been two years since he put up those numbers.

Liljegren was flipped to the Capitals from the Sharks on Friday in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick.
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 late Thursday night. Still, there should be an open roster spot on the back end for the 26-year-old Liljegren, where he figures to serve in a shutdown role.

Liljegren scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
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. For the season, he's at one goal, 11 points, 34 shots on net, 36 hits, 83 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 42 appearances.

Liljegren notched two assists and two blocked shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Lightning.
Liljegren returned from missing five games due to an upper-body injury. Any plans to ease him in ended when Shakir Mukhamadullin (undisclosed) left the contest early -- Liljegren ended up logging 21:39 of ice time. Liljegren'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.

Liljegren (upper body) is slated to play Saturday versus Tampa Bay, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
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.
