Andersen allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 7-4 victory over the Devils on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs spotted Andersen a 4-0 lead, which became 6-1, but the Devils ruined Andersen's night by scoring three third-period goals. The Maple Leafs veteran netminder stopped just 20 of 23 at even strength, and he owns an .841 save percentage in his last four games. Andersen is 22-8-5 with a 2.86 GAA and .910 save percentage in 37 games this season.

Andersen will defend the home net in Tuesday's matchup versus the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has been yanked in two of his last three starts, and he's allowed at least three goals in eight of nine appearances dating back to Dec. 17. If the Maple Leafs had a better alternative, Andersen would probably get the night off. He'll draw a favorable start, however, as the Devils rank 25th with 2.41 goals per road contest.

Andersen gave up four goals on 12 shots in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen played only 20:49 in the contest, with Mike Matheson's second-period tally ending his outing. The Dane was let off the hook as the Maple Leafs covered the four goals he gave up by the end of the contest. His GAA inflated to 2.82 with a .912 save percentage in 36 starts this season. He's been pulled from two of his last three starts -- Andersen has been a risky fantasy play in recent weeks.

Andersen will get the starting nod for Sunday's road tilt against the Panthers, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite posting a 5-0-2 record in his last eight appearances, Andersen has allowed at least three goals in seven of those outings. During that span, he's recorded a 3.65 GAA and .893 save percentage. Andersen will continue benefiting from Toronto's strong offense, but he'll need to turn things around to remain a top fantasy goaltender.

Andersen surrendered three goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs never had a lead in the contest, but Andersen kept it close enough for Auston Matthews to tie it late in the third period. However, the Danish goalie let in three goals on four shootout attempts in the defeat. He slipped to 21-8-5 with a 2.74 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 35 starts this season. The Maple Leafs next play at Florida on Sunday, a team averaging 3.74 goals per game at home, which is fourth-best in the league.

Andersen will guard the cage during Wednesday's home matchup with Winnipeg, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen didn't play well his last time out, surrendering three goals on 19 shots before being replaced by Michael Hutchinson in the second period of Monday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers. The Danish backstop will try to bounce back in a home matchup with a Jets club that's averaging a respectable 3.27 goals per game on the road this campaign, eighth in the NHL.

Andersen was pulled from Monday's 6-4 loss to Edmonton after allowing three goals on 16 shots.
EDGE Analysis
A rare off night from Andersen forced Michael Hutchinson into Toronto's crease, but the Maple Leafs' backup also had his struggles containing the Oilers' prolific offense, giving up three goals on 13 shots after replacing the Dane. Andersen has been great nearly all season long, so this performance shouldn't cause his owners or team to lose faith in his abilities. Expect him to be between the pipes Wednesday against the Jets, though, Toronto has yet to announce its starter for that contest.

Andersen will get the home start against the Oilers on Monday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has been a workhorse this year, but the Maple Leafs afforded Michael Hutchinson the start Saturday versus the Islanders despite it not being a back-to-back game. Those decisions will be key for Andersen's longevity. His play has been mediocre lately with a .909 save percentage over his past seven starts, but plentiful offensive support pegged him with a 6-0-1 record in that stretch.

Andersen made 45 saves in a 6-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen hasn't lost in regulation since Dec. 12 and has gone 6-0-1 since then. He has been one of the NHL's busiest goalies this season -- only Carey Price has started more games and only Connor Hellebuyck has faced more rubber. At some point, the Leafs will need to settle for Michael Hutchinson as a backup (and play him more) or trade for a guy they trust, so Andersen can get some rest.

Andersen will guard the cage during Thursday's road game against the Jets, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was fantastic in his last appearance Tuesday against Minnesota, stopping 26 of 27 shots en route to a tidy 4-1 road win. The 30-year-old Dane will attempt to pick up a second straight road victory in a matchup with a Winnipeg team that's only averaging 2.80 goals per game at home this campaign, tied for 26th in the NHL.
