Pat Maroon is getting ready to play in his Boston Bruins debut on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Maroon is eager to get back on the ice and support his new team as they aim to make the playoffs after missing time due to back surgery.
Maroon declared, “I’m thrilled to be back and ready to contribute.” “Facing a tough Pittsburgh team is a good start for me, getting me geared up for the playoffs.”
Maroon’s Bruins Debut, Liljegren’s Return, and More
Liam Ohgren, meanwhile, will play his first NHL game for the Minnesota Wild against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 20-year-old attacker, who made an impression in the Swedish Elite League, was selected in the 2022 selection.
Defenseman Timothy Liljegren of the Toronto Maple Leafs is hoping to play again soon. Liljegren has been sidelined with an upper-body injury but is eager to rejoin his team on the blue line.
As for Liljegren’s return, Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe expressed optimism. “He looked good in practice, and we’re hopeful for tomorrow.”
Aside from that, Connor Murphy returns to the Chicago Blackhawks following a roughly three-month absence due to a groin ailment. The team’s defensive lineup is strengthened by Murphy’s return as they take on the Nashville Predators.
Unfortunately, Rasmus Sandin’s upper-body injury is expected to keep him out of the Washington Capitals’ lineup for the rest of the regular season. The team’s quest for an Eastern Conference playoff berth is hampered by Sandin’s absence.
With debuts, comebacks, and disappointments reshaping the NHL, clubs everywhere are finalizing their playoff plans as the regular season draws to a close.
