The Maple Leafs have placed Frederik Andersen (groin) on IR.

Andersen was already expected to miss Thursday’s game so moving him to IR was simply a formality to open up a roster spot. The Maple Leafs are also without Garret Sparks (concussion protocol) so Michael Hutchinson was recalled to start on Thursday afternoon.
