Andersen stopped 38 of 40 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Winnipeg on Wednesday. Andersen snapped a brief two-game losing skid and will start against Winnipeg again tonight. If he did it on the road, he can do it on home-ice, where he is 1-3-0 with a 2.56 GAA and .917 SV% this season.
Andersen allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Blues on Saturday. Andersen has lost two in a row, but is a solid 3-2-0 with a 2.63 GAA and .914 SV% in his last five starts. Tonight he will face a Winnipeg team that is 5-0-1 on home-ice, while averaging 3.83 goals for per game this season.
Walker was recalled from Ontario (AHL) on Monday and will make his season debut tonight in Dallas. The 23-year-old defenseman will replace Oscar Fantenberg and play with Dion Phaneuf.
Walker, 23, was an undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green State University. Walker had 28 points (7G / 21A) in 64 games during his first pro season with Ontario in 2017-18 and has amassed six points (3G / 3A) in his first seven games this season. His call-up means the Kings are carrying eight defenseman on their active roster right now.
Andersen stopped 36 of 37 shots before the Penguins added two empty net goals to beat Toronto 3-0 on Thursday. Andersen has won three of his first five starts while posting a 2.70 GAA and .914 SV%. The Blues possess one of the deepest lineups in the NHL, but they’re 21st in goal-scoring (2.83 GF/PG) in the early going.

Dzingel has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but will play Saturday vs. the Canadiens. Dzingel has enjoyed a strong stat to the season, picking up two goals, two assists and 12 shots on goal in four games.
Andersen allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Washington on Saturday. Andersen was sidelined by a knee injury on Monday, but it looks like he’ll be back between the pipes tonight vs. the Penguins. Andersen has won four of his first five starts despite posting a 3.02 GAA and .899 SV%.

Andersen was on the ice for Tuesday’s practice but left after 20-30 minutes and isn’t sure he’ll start on Thursday. Mike Babcock was expecting Andersen to be ready on Thursday, but monitor his status as the week progresses.
Lemieux had one goal in nine games with the Jets last season. The 22-year-old winger is expected to replace Kristian Vesalainen in the lineup and showcased his offensive upside with 19 goals and 24 assists (43 points) in 51 games with the Manitoba Moose (AHL) last year.
Andersen did not dress for Monday’s game vs. the Kings, but head coach Mike Babcock said that Andersen will start Thursday vs. Pittsburgh. Returning to the ice on Tuesday is a good sign that Babcock’s plan is still on-track.
Stastny was picked up this offseason to stabilize the Golden Knights’ second line, but it looks like that duty will fall on Erik Haula until mid-December. Stastny “will be out for a bit, potentially up to two months” according to head coach Gerard Gallant. This will allow someone like Alex Tuch to move back into the top-6 right away as soon as he is healthy.
Andersen allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Detroit on Thursday. Andersen has won three of his first four starts of the season despite allowing a combined 13 goals on 122 shots (.893 SV%). Tonight he faces a Capitals team that he had mixed results against last season—one shutout and one six-goals against game.
Dzingel was a game-time decision for the last two games, but it looks like the lower-body injury has finally caught up to him. Dzingel lands on IR, so he will miss at least one week. Nick Paul was recalled from Belleville (AHL) to take Dzingel’s spot on the roster.
Andersen allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Dallas on Tuesday. Despite allowing a combined 10 goals on 93 shots (.892 SV%) in his first three starts, the Maple Leafs offence has carried Andersen to a 2-1-0 record. He is a must-start against a Red Wings team that is still searching for their first win of the season.
Dzingel was a game-time decision on Monday, but ended up playing and scoring two goals. He was not on the ice again this morning, so he’s questionable for tonight’s meting with the Flyers. It sounds like it is a very similar situation to Monday and the young winger should be expected to play.
Stastny suffered a lower-body injury during the third period of the Golden Knights’ loss to the Sabres on Monday. The veteran centre will miss the rest of the road-trip and be re-evaluated when Vegas returns home. Cody Eakin will return to the lineup and make his season debut with Stastny out.
Stastny got dumped late in the third period of Monday’s loss to the Sabres and appeared to come up lame. Stastny was cut-down low and didn’t practice on Tuesday, so his status for Wednesday’s game is up in the air. If Stastny is out, Erik Haula is expected to move to centre and Tomas Nosek will play on the second line.
