Newly acquired San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren joined practice for the first time and skated with Henry Thrun. Newly acquired San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren is excited about his fresh start but told reporters what went wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said the former Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman will improve the team's puck-moving ability. "That's why Mike [Grier] probably acquired him, right? Continuing to improve our puck-moving ability, five on five, and the powerplay," Warsofsky said yesterday. "We've tried [Jack] Thompson and [Jake Walman] up there on the top, and we'll give Lily here a shot. We have high hopes that he can help us in our back end." Liljegren skated with the Sharks' top powerplay unit during his first practice. The 25-year-old looks to be getting a big opportunity immediately with his new team.
