Lagesson hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's game against the Ducks. He's expected to skate alongside Morgan Rielly as he's set to return from his five-game suspension.
Lagesson did not play the last two games for the Maple Leafs due to an illness but will return to the lineup on Monday against the New York Islanders. Lagesson is averaging 15:00 time-on-ice, has one point (0G / 1A), and 25 hits in 14 games, skating primarily alongside Simon Benoit, though he'll start tonight's game on a pair with Jake McCabe.
Lagesson did not play the last two games for the Maple Leafs due to an illness but could potentially return to the lineup on Monday against the New York Islanders. Lagesson is averaging 15:00 time-on-ice, has one point (0G / 1A), and 25 hits in 14 games, skating primarily alongside Simon Benoit.
Lagesson was called up on Friday from the Marlies (AHL), likely to replace Jake McCabe, who was injured after playing only 10 seconds on Friday and has been ruled out for the Maple Leafs Saturday night matchup against the Nashville Predators. In five games with the Marlies this season, Lagesson has one point (0G / 1A) and a -2 plus/minus rating.
Lagesson had 10 goals, 22 assists, 46 PIMs and a +14 plus/minus through 65 games last season with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) and will join Toronto on a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000. The 27-year-old defenseman failed to see any NHL playing time in 2022-23 but still brings 60 games of experience as well as seven career assists to the Maple Leafs.
Lagesson played in two straight games, registering an assist in 17:17 on Wednesday but will come out of the lineup on Friday. Chris Wideman will be back in the lineup to replace him.
Lagesson went to the AHL during the All-Star break but is expected to be in the lineup on Tuesday. Lagesson will likely continue to play for Kris Russell, who was moved to IR in a corresponding move on Monday.
Lagesson missed Wednesday's game in St. Louis while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to be back in the lineup in New Jersey. The Oilers are also expected to get Jesse Puljujarvi and Darnell Nurse back.
The Oilers have already been shut down through the Christmas break, so we'll see when they resume play next week. Lagesson will likely be out until at least next Thursday.
Lagesson has picked up two assists in 11 games with Bakersfield this season. With Darnell Nurse and slater Koekkoek both landing on IR after getting hurt on Thursday, Lagesson and Philip Broberg have been recalled to take their spots on the roster.
Lagesson has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but will dress tonight vs. the Senators. The Oilers would not announce whether or not he will dress as a seventh defenseman or if they will go with 12 forwards and six defensemen.
Lagesson was forced to leave Monday's game vs. the Jets with an upper-body injury after playing just 6:47 TOI. Either Kris Russell or Caleb Jones will draw back into the lineup to replace Lagesson on Wednesday.
