Andersen starts Friday vs. the Sharks.

Andersen allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Maple Leafs overtime loss to the Blue Jackets on Monday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Andersen, who will start the front-end of a back-to-back on Friday. The 30-year-old is 3-2-1 with a 3.77 GAA and .888 SV% on home-ice this season and catches the Sharks on the back-end of a back-to-back.

Stillman was recalled from Springfield (AHL) and will make his season debut on Thursday.

Stillman picked up one assist in five games with Springfield to start the season but has been called up because Michael Matheson will miss at least 10 days with an undisclosed injury. Stillman will play in his second career NHL game on Tuesday.

The Blackhawks have placed Connor Murphy (groin) on LTIR.

Murphy suffered a groin injury in Tuesday's shootout loss to the Golden Knights and his move to LTIR provides the Blackhawks with some cap relief but also means he'll miss at least 11 games. Dennis Gilbert was recalled from Rockford (AHL) and either he or Slater Koekkoek will replace Murphy. This also helps explain the trade for Ian McCoshen on Tuesday as the team looked to address organizational depth on the back-end.

Jarry will start Wednesday in Tampa Bay.

Jarry allowed just one goal on 22 shots in the Penguins loss to Vegas on Saturday. Jarry was great but Marc-Andre Fleury was sensational at the other end of the ice and dealt Jarry his first loss of the season. Jarry has allowed just three goals on 51 shots (.941 SV%) in two starts this year but has a rough matchup in Tampa Bay with his team on a back-to-back.

Andersen will start Monday vs. the Blue Jackets.

Andersen allowed three goals on 46 shots in the Maple Leafs overtime win over the Bruins on Saturday. Andersen has won three straight games while stopping 95 of the 102 shots (.932 SV%) that he has faced. The 30-year-old is 3-2-0 with a 3.75 GAA and .887 SV% on home-ice this season but is a must-start against a Blue Jackets team averaging just 2.25 goals per game (29th in the NHL).

Jarry will start Saturday vs. the Golden Knights.

Jarry made 27 saves on 29 shots in the Penguins win in Winnipeg last Sunday. It was a great start to 2019-20 for Jarry, who gets the nod tonight vs. Marc-Andre Fleury and Vegas Golden Knights. Jarry had a .915 SV% in 47 AHL starts last year and a .907 SV% in 30 career NHL appearances. He’s a solid backup but not a great spot-start option against Vegas.

Tristan Jarry
Andersen will start Saturday vs. the Bruins.

Andersen allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs’ win over the Wild last Tuesday. Andersen has won his last two starts while stopping 52 of 56 shots (.929 SV%) and will make his seventh start on Saturday night. The 30-year-old was 1-1-0 while giving up eight goals on 68 shots in his two regular-season starts vs. the Bruins last year.

Andersen will start Tuesday vs. the Wild.

Andersen allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Detroit on Saturday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Andersen, who is now 3-2-0 with a 3.38 GAA and .886 SV% in his first five starts. He is a must-start against the 1-4-0 Wild, who are on the tail-end of a back-to-back and are averaging just 2.40 goals per game.

Jarry will start Sunday in Winnipeg.

Jarry won the Penguins backup job, perhaps because of a lower AAV than Casey DeSmith but he’s Matt Murray’s backup nonetheless. With Murray starting the first five games of the season, including last night, Jarry will make his season debut in Winnipeg. He was 23-23-3 with a 2.66 GAA and .915 SV% in the AHL last season and has a .906 career SV% in 29 NHL appearances.

Andersen will start in Detroit on Saturday.

Andersen was lit up for seven goals on 28 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Lightning on Thursday. After winning both of his first two starts, Andersen has dropped back-to-back games while giving up a combined 10 goals on 58 shots (.828 SV%). He’ll try to get back on track in Detroit on Saturday—Andersen was 1-0-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .903 SV% in two games vs. the Red Wings last year.

Andersen will start Monday vs. the Blues.

Andersen made 28 saves on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs 4-1 win in Columbus on Friday. Andersen made a number of huge saves to preserve Toronto’s lead and has started the season 2-0 while stopping 51 of the 55 shots (.927 SV%) that he has faced in his first two starts. On Monday, he will face the reigning Stanley Cup Champions, who he was 0-1-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .908 SV% against last year.

Andersen will start Friday in Columbus.

Andersen allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Maple Leafs 5-3 win over the Senators on opening night. Getting the ‘W’ is all that matters, but Andersen will be hoping for better performances in the future. He is a great option against a Blue Jackets team that lost a few key pieces this offseason.
