Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson and defenseman Timothy Liljegren have been selected as part of the club's 31-man roster for Phase 4 of the NHL's return, the team announced Sunday.
Liljegren, 21, appeared in 11 games with the Maple Leafs this season. His status for the play-in round was uncertain after he was deemed unfit to play earlier this month and replaced on the Phase 3 roster by Mac Hollowell.
The 18-year-old Robertson was selected by Toronto with the 53rd overall pick at the 2019 NHL Draft. The dynamic winger led the Ontario Hockey League this season with 55 goals in 46 games for the Peterborough Petes.
The Maple Leafs are set to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets in their best-of-five play-in series, with Game 1 scheduled for Aug. 2 in Toronto.
