"Liljegren will go in tonight, and the rest will stay the same. We'll move around. He's not going to start [with Sandin], but I'm sure they'll see some shifts together tonight at some point."
"Timothy Liljegren, acquired from the San Jose Sharks at the trade deadline, is set to make his Capitals debut. Liljegren sat out Monday night's win over the Calgary Flames, as head coach Spencer Carbery wanted to give him more time to learn the team's system and settle into his new club."
"Although the Czech centerman has been practicing with his new teammates, he is still dealing with visa issues after arriving from the Vancouver Canucks and won't play in Philadelphia."
The Washington Capitals will debut acquired defenseman Timothy Liljegren against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night. Liljegren sat out Monday's game to acclimate to the team's system. Coach Spencer Carbery confirmed Liljegren will play but won't start with former Toronto teammate Rasmus Sandin, though they may share ice time. Liljegren's arrival could reshape defensive pairings, potentially moving Matt Roy with Jakob Chychrun and leaving Declan Chisholm as a healthy scratch. Fellow deadline acquisition David Kampf remains unavailable due to visa complications. Logan Thompson starts in goal for the Capitals, seeking another strong performance against the Flyers, who trail Washington by two points with two games in hand.
