Andersen stopped 30 of 33 shots in a 5-3 win over the Canadiens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
After a scoreless first period, chaos reigned in the second, but Andersen did enough to keep the Maple Leafs ahead 4-2. The teams exchanged goals in the third, but it didn't alter the result. Andersen improved to 11-3-2 with a 2.69 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 16 outings. The Dane remains Toronto's unquestioned No. 1 goalie and should start again in Monday's home game versus the Flames.

Andersen is in line to start between the pipes in Saturday's road matchup with Montreal, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was sharp in his last start Wednesday against Ottawa, stopping 27 of 28 shots en route to a tidy 2-1 victory. The Danish backstop will attempt to secure his 11th win of the season in a road matchup with a Montreal team that's a disappointing 3-4-0 at home this year.

Andersen collected 27 saves Wednesday in a 2-1 victory over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off of a pair of one-goal losses, Andersen was perfect outside of a Brady Tkachuk tap-in late in the second period. The win improved Andersen to 9-3-2 on the year with a 2.79 GAA and .908 save percentage. He's rarely been a standout in the ratio categories during the course of his NHL career, but he should continue to pile up victories for fantasy managers.

Andersen will be between the pipes at home versus Ottawa on Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will no doubt be eager to square off with the Senators again after squandering a 5-1 lead on Monday in which he registered a season-worst 5.90 GAA and .806 save percentage. Still, the veteran netminder has secured his team at least a point in five of the last six games. Despite starting a league-high 14 contests this year, Andersen continues to search for his first shutout of the 2020-21 campaign.

Andersen made 25 saves in Monday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
While he didn't make any glaring mistakes or let it any particularly soft goals, it's still hard not to hold Andersen responsible for the Leafs blowing a 5-1 lead that they held in the final minute of the second period. Despite the stunning result, the 31-year-old still has a 9-3-2 record to begin the season, albeit with a 2.79 GAA and .901 save percentage.

Andersen will defend the home net in Monday's game versus the Senators, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen sports a 7-1-1 record over the past nine games, recording a .918 save percentage and a 2.35 GAA. The Senators' offense has struggled immensely, as it ranks 28th in the league with 2.13 goals per game.

Andersen made 23 saves in a 2-1 loss to Montreal on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was the Great Dane's first regulation loss since Jan. 20, a span in which Andersen has gone 7-1-1. He hasn't had to be great because the team around him is just so darn good. But it's important to note that Andersen has really started to tighten his game over his last four starts. He has allowed just six goals in those four games and his save percentage has ranged from a low of .920 on Saturday to a high of .969 last Monday against the Orcas. Andersen still needs to show Toronto fans that he can deliver some postseason wins, but that has no bearing on his potential production right now. And that production is pretty sweet.

Andersen will get the starting nod in Saturday's home game versus the Canadiens, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will make an eighth straight start. He's been solid lately, recording a .915 save percentage and a 6-0-1 record since taking on the workhorse role with Jack Campbell (leg) out. Meanwhile, the Canadiens have turned into a heavyweight in the North Division, averaging 3.57 goals per game.

Andersen stopped 33 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen and the Maple Leafs played well defensively. The Danish goalie allowed an early first-period goal to Josh Anderson and a determined effort from Tomas Tatar in the third period, but he was supported well enough to win. Andersen improved to 9-2-1 with a 2.59 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 12 contests. The 31-year-old continues to be a workhorse in goal and should be expected to start Saturday's home game versus the Canadiens.

Andersen will draw the road start for Wednesday's game against Montreal, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Swede will start between the pipes for the seventh straight game Wednesday, and he's been red hot as of late. In his past six starts, Andersen has gone 5-0-1 along with a 2.51 GAA and .909 save percentage over that span. Andersen will face a tough matchup against a Montreal offense that currently leads the league in goals per game this season (4.20).
