Frederik Andersen News

Andersen will start the Maple Leafs season opener vs. the Canadiens.

Andersen has been a workhorse during his four years in Toronto, leading the NHL with 244 starts over that span. Had the 2020 season not been cut short, he would have won 30-plus games for the fourth straight season but posted a career-worst 2.85 GAA and .909 SVS%. He'll look to be sharper in 2021 and that starts with a matchup vs. Montreal. He is 3-0-1 with a .907 SV% in his first four opening night starts with the Maple Leafs.

Andersen will start Tuesday vs. the Lightning.

Andersen stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Maple Leafs shootout loss in Anaheim last Thursday. The Maple Leafs used their California road-trip to get Andersen some rest, giving him just one start in the last nine days. Tonight he returns to the crease to face the Lightning for the third time this season--he's given up 10 goals on 57 shots (.825 SV%) in the first two meetings of 2020.

Andersen (neck) will not travel to Montreal for Saturday's game.

On Friday, Andersen was on the ice for the second straight day but won't be available for either game of their Friday/Saturday back-to-back. The recently acquired Jack Campbell will start Friday and head coach Sheldon Keefe did not rule out the possibility of him going on back-to-back nights.

Andersen is day-to-day with a neck injury.

Andersen was forced to leave last night's game after the first period and did not return. Andersen was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice and will not travel to New York for Tuesday's game. Michael Hutchinson will start tomorrow but all-in-all this is pretty good news for Andersen and the Maple Leafs.
