Andersen is slated to start Thursday's road game against the Maple Leafs, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen, who has won his last two starts, while allowing just one goal in that span, looks like a solid play Thursday, though it's worth noting that the last-place Leafs have played better of late, en route to taking four of their last five decisions.

Andersen stopped all 38 shots he faced in Friday's win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen wasn't slated to play Friday, but John Gibson went down with the flu, so Andersen's scheduled off night turned into quite the workout. With the victory, Andersen is now 4-0-4 against Boston in his career and 9-1-0 in his past 10 starts. Keep him rolling, as the 26-year-old owns a .924 save percentage on the season and continues to pile up wins on an Anaheim team sitting second in the Pacific Division.

Andersen will start in the crease Friday against the Jets, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
With John Gibson on the tail end of an illness, the Ducks will give him a rest and instead turn Andersen's way for the evening's contest. He will prepare for a home matchup with a Bruins club that enters mired in a bit of a scoring slump of late, and his home splits (1.86 GAA, .931 save percentage) certainly bode well for him. He also avoids normal Boston netminder Tuukka Rask and will instead face Jonas Gustavsson, so all factors appear to be in the youngster's favor Friday.

Andersen stopped 24 of 25 shots in Monday's win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The lone goal temporarily tied things up early in the second period, but the Ducks poured on six more to cruise to an easy win. Andersen saw his six-game win streak come to an end his last time out, but he got right back into his groove Monday and has now allowed two or fewer goals in five of his last six. Keep him rolling whenever his number is called.

Andersen gets the starting nod for Monday's matchup with the Devils, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the two-goalie rotation continues in Anaheim, Andersen seems to be setting himself apart from John Gibson as he has gotten the win in seven of his last eight contests. During that span, the 26-year-old logged an outstanding 2.17 GAA and .919 save percentage. Against the Devils, Andersen stopped 21 of 22 shots on net Dec. 19 and will look to repeat that performance.

Andersen was brutal Friday, giving up four goals on 22 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Blues. The fifth was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
Despite turning in a clunker Friday, this was, remarkably, Andersen's first regulation loss since way back on Dec. 21 -- a span of 15 games in which he went an eye-popping 13-0-2. With Andersen and youngster John Gibson between the pipes, the Ducks are poised for a deep playoff run as they're currently just one point behind the Kings for the top spot in the Pacific Division. In terms of numbers, Andersen is now 32-18-9 with a 2.27 GAA and solid .920 save percentage this season.

Andersen will try to protect the net Friday as the road starter against the Blues, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ducks boast the top-ranked defense in the league, with Freddie and his 2.21 GAA a significant part of the equation. He'll field pucks from a Blues team that only averages 2.47 goals per game, ranking 23rd in the league in that category.

Andersen made 32 saves in a 3-2 win over Los Angeles on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The only pucks that got past him came on the power play. Andersen has won his last six starts and has allowed just four goals in his last four outings. But both he and John Gibson have been playing really well right now, so it looks like each man gets a couple starts in a row. Andersen has two, so he might get to watch from the bench next time out. Just a hunch.

Andersen led his team out for warmups Saturday, indicating that he'll draw the road start against the Kings, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen is 12-0-2 with a 1.77 GAA and .935 save percentage since the calendar flipped to 2016. He's the hottest netminder in the league, and this matchup is all about defense, as the two teams are first (Kings) and second respectively in goals against per game.

Andersen allowed just one goal on 28 shots en route to a 5-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has now won six straight, and has allowed one goal or fewer in four of those games. While the 26-year-old netminder has been outstanding all season, he has been absolutely stellar here in 2016. He has yet to lose a game in regulation this year, with an impressive 11-0-2 in his 13 starts in that span. Even though the Ducks have not yet settled completely on which goalie will take the no. 1 spot full-time, Andersen is a must-start whenever his number called.
