Andersen (upper body) is "progressing," reports the Toronto Star, and remains on track to start the season.
EDGE Analysis
General manager Lou Lamoriello was typically blunt in his update on Andersen. "We're certainly not going to rush anything. Until he's ready, we're not going to have any comment. He is progressing. He has had no setbacks." Andersen will face a heavy workload once he returns and should produce decent results as your number two starter in a deep league.

Andersen will miss three to four weeks of action, including the World Cup, with an upper body injury he sustained during Olympic qualifying, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The upper body injury will keep him out of competing with Team Europe, but Andersen is expected to be back for the start of the NHL season. In 37 starts last season, Andersen saved nearly 92 percent of shots he faced.

The Leafs are flying Andersen (upper body) back to Toronto to evaluate his injury, reports Toronto's Sportsnet 590 TheFAN.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was slated to appear in the upcoming World Cup, but that looks in doubt at this point. Andersen fell hard on his right shoulder after a Danish teammate bowled him over during an Olympic qualifying match this week. Jonas Enroth stands to gain the most if Andersen is hurt seriously, but don't overreact just yet. The season is still almost six weeks away.

Andersen sustained an upper-body injury upon colliding with a teammate during Denmark's Olympic qualifying game Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen is set to undergo further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. With the Leafs ranking 24th in the league in goals allowed in 2015-16, they will be hoping their starting goaltender doesn't miss any time. If the 26-year-old is not ready to go by Opening Night, Jhonas Enroth figures to fill the void.

Andersen was pulled from an Olympic qualifying game Friday after a collision with a teammate, NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver Bjorkstrand ran into Andersen late in the third period, and the Danish goalie left the game immediately. It's currently unclear if he left due to injury or as a precaution, but if he ends up missing time, the Maple Leafs could start with Jhonas Enroth in the crease.

Andersen signed a five-year contract with the Maple Leafs on Monday worth $5.5 million annually after being brought in via trade, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen's deal makes him a lock for the starting job in Toronto and puts Jonathon Bernier's future in question. Fantasy owners will likely want to give the 26-year-old Andersen a look now that he will be a full time starter rather than splitting time like he did in Anaheim.

Andersen has been acquired by Toronto on Monday in exchange for sending a 2016 first-round pick and a 2017 second-round pick to Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen, who is in the final year of his contract, will compete with Jonathan Bernier for the starting job in Toronto, but given Andersen's significantly better season; 22 wins, three shutouts, and a 2.30 GAA, it could be a very short competition. The 26-year-old will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season, which protects the Leafs long term even if they are unable to reach a long term deal with the netminder.

Andersen stopped just 18 of 20 Predators shots as his Ducks fell 2-1 in Game 7 on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen wasn't especially busy, but the two goals he allowed in the first period proved to be enough for Nashville to move on despite the Ducks carrying play for most of the night. The Danish netminder won three of his five playoff starts after John Gibson was ineffective in Games 1 and 2, but that ultimately wasn't enough to garner a series win.
