Andersen will start Thursday in Nashville.

Andersen allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Maple Leafs loss in Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Toronto blew a third period lead vs. the Lightning but will get Auston Matthews back tonight in Nashville. As good as Andersen has been this season, this is a terrible matchup, so take a look at your other options first.

The Penguins have assigned Tristan Jarry to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).

Jarry has gone 6-2-0 with a 2.60 GAA and .914 SV% in eight games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. He has spent the majority of the year with Pittsburgh, but with Matt Murray (concussion) likely returning on Tuesday, they will keep Casey DeSmith as his backup for now.

Andersen made 17 saves on 20 shots before being replaced by Curtis McElhinney in the Maple Leafs shootout win over the Stars last night. Andersen will not be available for Thursday’s game in Buffalo as McElhinney has already been named the starter and Garrett Sparks has been recalled from Toronto (AHL). There is no word on the severity of Andersen’s injury at this point.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Andersen, who is now just two wins from tying his career-high (35) in that category. The Stars are in town with a high-powered offence, but come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back and are under .500 (14-16-3) on the road this season.
