Andersen left Monday's contest against Florida with an upper-body injury and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was slid into on a Panthers' 2-on-1 rush, dislodging the net and getting tangled up with Frank Vatrano. The 30-year-old netminder owns a .910 save percentage and 2.87 GAA in 42 starts this season. He ranks second among NHL goaltenders with those 42 appearances. Michael Hutchinson replaced him in Monday's contest.

Andersen will get the home start Monday versus the Panthers, NHL.com's Dave McCarthy reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen's coming off back-to-back road wins over the Stars and Predators, respectively, where he posted a .929 save percentage. He's been far better on the road compared to at home, though, as he's recorded a .901 save percentage in Toronto's barn. The Panthers enter this matchup with 3.60 goals per game -- tied with Toronto for second in the league -- but they'll be without Aleksander Barkov (lower body) on Monday.

Andersen stopped 31 of 34 shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time since Dec. 31 and Jan. 2, Andersen has won back-to-back starts. The Dane owns a 24-9-6 record with a 2.87 GAA and a .910 save percentage this season and while he's had his share of struggles, Toronto boasts enough firepower in front of Andersen to make up for the odd poor outing. A matchup with the lowly Senators up next could see the Leafs give Michael Hutchinson a start, though, nothing has been confirmed yet.

According to Mark Masters of TSN.ca, the Maple Leafs aren't going to make any changes to their lineup for Wednesday's road game versus the Stars, which means Andersen will get the start in goal.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was sharp in his last start Monday against the Predators, turning aside 34 of 36 shots en route to a convincing 5-2 road win. The 30-year-old Dane will attempt to pick up his 24th victory of the season in another road matchup with a Dallas club that's posted a 16-7-2 record at home this year despite averaging just 2.60 goals per game in those contests, 30th in the NHL.

Andersen made 34 saves in a 5-2 win over Nashville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen had gone into the All-Star break with a 6-2 loss to Chicago so it was encouraging to see him turn in a rock-solid performance in his first start out of the break. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent the past few weeks and had logged a sub.-900 save percentage in January coming into Monday's start. He'll try to put together back-to-back strong starts Wednesday in Dallas.

Andersen will tend the twine for Monday's road clash with the Predators, Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his last five outings before the All-Star break, Andersen posted a 1-1-2 record, 4.03 GAA and .867 save percentage. The Leafs already find themselves on the outside looking in for a playoff spot by four points and will need the veteran netminder to rediscover his game soon. The 30-year-old has performed well historically against Nashville, as he is 8-2-0 with a 2.32 GAA in 11 career matchups.

Andersen allowed six goals on 34 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has scuffled of late -- he's 3-1-5 in his last nine starts. And his numbers have steadily declined month-to-month, probably because of overwork. The Leafs need to do something to give this guy some rest or they'll suffer. And so will your squad.

Andersen will get the home start Saturday versus the Blackhawks, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
January hasn't been an impressive month for Andersen, as he's recorded an .893 save percentage and 3.73 GAA, although oodles of offensive support have afforded him a 2-0-2 record. The Blackhawks have shown life lately with three straight wins, and they rank 13th in the league with 2.96 goals per road contest.

Andersen made 31 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Flames on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen made several point-blank saves, including a huge one in overtime to keep the game tied. He was super sharp, but Big Save Dave Rittich was better in the other net. Both men are headed to the All-Star Game next week; the Leafs have one more start on Saturday before Andersen heads off to St. Louis.

Andersen will guard the cage during Thursday's home clash with Calgary, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen wasn't great in his last start Tuesday against New Jersey, surrendering four goals on 29 shots, but he was still ultimately able to pick up his 22nd win of the season thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. The 30-year-old Dane will look to keep rolling in a home matchup with a Flames squad that's only averaging 2.28 goals per game on the road this year, 29th in the NHL.
