Andersen allowed three goals on just 24 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

All three goals were pinned on Andersen during a nightmare second period for Toronto. He fell to 4-3-0 and has taken the loss in his last two outings. Things won't get any easier, as he should get patrol the crease in Toronto's next game on Wednesday, a road showdown in Winnipeg.

Andersen will defend the cage against the visiting Blues on Saturday, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is one of the most popular fantasy goaltenders since prolific point-packing pivots Auston Matthews (16 points) and John Tavares (11 points) are on his side. This makes him a chalky play in DFS games, but Freddie has four wins in six games and many a fantasy owner appreciates such predictability when it comes to choosing one netminder over another. The Dane will be countered by Jake Allen in this home start.

Andersen allowed one goal on 37 shots in a 3-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The final two goals came after Andersen had already been pulled for the extra attacker. However, the goal that beat Toronto's primary netminder was one he'd like to have back and it wound up being the difference maker Thursday. Next up, the Maple Leafs host St. Louis on Saturday in a game Andersen figures to start.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Monday's matchup with Los Angeles, Andersen will be back in the blue paint versus Pittsburgh. The Dane will be looking for his fourth consecutive victory, but will need to get past the Penguins' star-studded lineup.

EDGE Analysis

While final confirmation on Andersen's availability against the Penguins on Thursday likely won't come until after practice -- or even closer to warm-ups depending on how forthcoming coach Mike Babcock decides to be -- the netminder does appear to be ready for a return to the ice after sitting out Monday's clash with Los Angeles. If he does give it a go, the 28-year-old will look to extend his three-game winning streak against a Penguins squad that is struggling for wins in the early days of the season (2-1-2).

Andersen said he feels better after tweaking his knee Saturday, but the Danish netminder is not entirely confident that he'll be ready to start Thursday's game against the Penguins, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was mass confusion about whether Andersen or Garret Sparks would draw Monday's start against the Kings; Sparks ended up with a 33-save victory after the light had finally been shed on Andersen's issue. Understandably, most everyone wants to know who will be in goal for a Leafs team that has started the season 6-1-0 with a plus-10 goal differential, but it would be in the best interest of fantasy owners to check back Thursday to see which netminder leaves the ice first at morning skate -- that will be the telling sign of who'll get the nod against the Penguins.

Andersen (knee) will start against the Penguins on Thursday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fortunately, Andersen missed only Monday's contest against the Kings while nursing his minor knee injury. The Denmark native will return for a tough matchup against the Penguins, but should be deployed as usual.

Andersen has a knee issue and is considered day-to-day, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This may explain why Garret Sparks is starting against the Kings on Monday. The expectation is that Andersen will be able to start Thursday when the Maple Leafs plays the Penguins, but keep an eye on his status just to be sure.

Andersen is slated for backup duty Monday, Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was some confusion earlier in the day regarding who would be in net for Toronto, with some reports suggesting Andersen would get the start and others claiming it was Garret Sparks' turn to man the crease. Andersen owners will need to look elsewhere for a starting goalie tonight, with the Danish netminder set to have the night off when the Maple Leafs host the Kings.

Andersen will start in goal against the Kings on Monday evening, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Kristen Shilton of TSN.ca, it was actually Toronto's No. 2 goalie Garret Sparks occupying the starter's net for morning skate. This is pure speculation, but perhaps Sparks was on the ice for a quick tuneup and nothing more. Andersen is 6-1-2 with a 2.47 GAA and .925 save percentage in his career against LA, so that had to factor into his getting the starting nod.
