Andersen will guard the road net in Saturday's game versus the Canucks, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen returned from a lower-body injury for Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Oilers, marking his third consecutive victory. The 31-year-old's .909 save percentage is solid yet unexciting, but he's managed a 12-3-2 record due to a plethora of offensive support. This is a favorable matchup regardless, as the Canucks rank 20th in the league with 2.81 goals per game.

Andersen (lower body) stopped 26 of 27 shots in a 6-1 win over the Oilers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen, back from a four-game absence, was gunning for Toronto's third consecutive shutout in Edmonton before Ryan Nugent-Hopkins got a rebound past him with 6:14 left in the second period. Toronto's firepower has always made Andersen an appealing option in wins leagues, but considering how well Toronto is playing defensively as of late, the 31-year-old should be able to improve upon his rather middling 2.59 GAA and .909 save percentage.

Andersen (lower body) will defend the cage on the road versus Edmonton on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was sidelined for the Leafs' previous four contests due to his lower-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the 31-year-old netminder went 6-1-1 in eight appearances along with a 2.38 GAA and .918 save percentage. The Dane should continue to see plenty of starts down the stretch, though an immediate back-to-back will likely see Michael Hutchinson get the nod against Vancouver on Thursday.

Andersen (lower body) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice and could start Wednesday against the Oilers or Thursday against the Canucks, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Sheldon Keefe said that Andersen had a "positive day" of practice, and they'll re-evaluate him Wednesday morning to make a final determination. Andersen likely would start Thursday if he's given the green light to provide to get an extra day of rest while coming off an injury. The 31-year-old Andersen has accrued a .905 save percentage and a 11-3-2 record this year.

EDGE Analysis
Andersen went through his typical practice routine Sunday after missing the last three games. The 31-year-old is on track to return for Sunday's game versus the Oilers, but he'll likely be re-evaluated in the morning before a final decision is made. Andersen has gotten the job done for the Maple Leafs this year, recording a .905 save percentage and an 11-3-2 record.

Andersen (lower body) remains unavailable Wednesday against the Flames, Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia reports.

Andersen (lower body) won't play in Monday's game versus the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was initially named the starter for Monday's game, but now Michael Hutchinson will get the starting nod, while Joseph Woll serves as the backup. The Flames are going through a similar situation, as Jacob Markstrom (upper body) will be scratched, and David Rittich will enter the lineup. Andersen's next chance to play is Wednesday against the Flames.

Andersen will defend the home net in Monday's game versus the Flames, Daniel Emanuele of Leafs Nation Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has been quite good in February, recording a .918 save percentage and a 6-1-1 record. The Maple Leafs will be without Joe Thornton (undisclosed), Zach Hyman (undisclosed) and Jake Muzzin (face) for Monday's game. Muzzin's absence could hurt the team's defensive systems a bit. It should still be a favorable matchup, as the Flames rank 23rd with 2.56 goals per game.
