Andersen (lower body) will be assigned to AHL Toronto on a conditioning loan and play half a game with the Marlies on Thursday, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has been sidelined since March 20 with a lower-body injury, but if all goes well Thursday, he could get a few games in with the big club before the playoffs get underway. He's gone 13-8-2 while posting a 2.91 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 23 contests this campaign.

Andersen is dealing with a knee injury but would like to be back in action before the playoffs start, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has been sidelined since March 19 against the Flames. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran netminder was underwhelming, as he went 1-5-0 with a 3.84 GAA in his last six contests. Until Andersen is cleared to play, Jack Campbell should see the bulk of the workload though David Rittich could grab a few starts, as well.

Andersen (lower body) did some work with goalie coach Steve Briere prior to Toronto's morning skate Thursday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen is clearly making progress in his recovery, but there's still no timetable for his return. The 31-year-old Dane will need to join his teammates for a few practices before returning to game action, so look for another update on his status once that occurs.

Andersen (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen's placement on LTIR is retroactive to March 19, so this shouldn't affect his timetable to return to action. However, it's still unclear when the 31-year-old will be ready to play. He won't be available for Saturday's game against Ottawa, marking the 10th straight game he's missed. Andersen owns a 2.91 GAA and .897 save percentage through 23 games this season.

Per Jonas Siegel of The Athletic, Andersen (lower body) isn't on the ice for morning skate, indicating he won't be available for Wednesday's game versus Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will miss a ninth straight game Wednesday, and at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return. Andersen will have to compete with Jack Campbell, who's won a franchise record nine straight games, for playing time whenever he's finally deemed fit to play.

Andersen (lower body) will miss Toronto's next three games at a minimum, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson hasn't skated since March 19, but according to coach Sheldon Keefe, the Danish netminder is "progressing well" in his recovery. Nonetheless, the earliest Andersen will be ready to return is Wednesday versus Montreal. In the meantime, Jack Campbell will continue to serve as Toronto's No. 1 netminder.

Andersen (lower body) isn't on the ice for morning skate ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Winnipeg, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters Saturday that Andersen wasn't close to returning, so the fact that he isn't on the ice for morning skate doesn't come as a surprise. The Maple Leafs will start a four-game road trip Wednesday night, and at this point it isn't clear if Andersen is traveling with the team. Either way, the Danish backstop will need to resume practicing before returning to game action, so check back for another update on his status once that occurs.

Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Saturday that Andersen (lower body) isn't close to returning, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen underwent a few tests, and he hasn't been on the ice since suffering this injury more than a week ago. The 31-year-old was losing his grasp on the starting job before this injury, and now Jack Campbell will have a chance to solidify his role as the No. 1 goalie in Toronto while taking on a workhorse role in Andersen's stead.

Andersen (lower body) is expected to be sidelined for three to six more days, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
This news suggests Andersen will miss Thursday's game versus Ottawa and Saturday's matchup with Edmonton at a minimum. Jack Campbell will continue to operate as Toronto's No. 1 netminder until Andersen is ready to return.

Andersen was unavailable to suit up Saturday due to a lower-body injury, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The cycle of goalie injuries continues in Toronto -- Jack Campbell just returned from a lower-body injury of his own. It's unknown how long Andersen's injury will keep him out. The Maple Leafs' next game is Thursday in Ottawa.
