After their big win against the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe had plenty to share. He delved into the status of Timothy Liljegren and Calle Jarnkrok, whose absence has been notable in recent games.

With the regular season winding down and playoffs on the horizon, Keefe is playing the long game. He hinted at the possible return of Liljegren and Jarnkrok, aiming to bolster the lineup for the postseason push.
As the Leafs navigate the final stretch, managing the roster becomes crucial. Defenseman Joel Edmundson's return from injury adds depth to the blueline, likely leading to some rotation to keep everyone fresh.
On the forward front, Jarnkrok's potential return could shake up the lineup, possibly impacting Nick Robertson's position. Keefe may opt to send Robertson and Matthew Knies to the Toronto Marlies temporarily, creating space and giving them a breather.
The ultimate goal is to finish strong, prioritizing health and maintaining momentum. While climbing to the 2nd spot in the Atlantic Division is enticing, the focus is on playing smart and ensuring readiness for the playoffs. With the Leafs firing on all cylinders, they're poised to tackle any challenges that come their way.
