TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have dealt defenceman Timothy Liljegren to the San Jose Sharks for defenceman Matt Benning, a third-round draft pick in 2025 and a sixth-round pick in 2026.

San Jose owns third-round selections previously held by Edmonton and Colorado. Toronto gets the earlier selection as part of the trade.

The 30-year-old Benning from Edmonton has appeared in seven games so far this season for the Sharks.

He’s recorded 17 goals and 85 assists in 464 career NHL regular-season games with San Jose, Nashville and Edmonton, along with five assists in 24 playoff games.

Liljegren was a first-round draft pick of Toronto in 2017. He’s played one game for the Maple Leafs this season.
