Andersen will start Saturday against host Washington, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Freddie hasn't been sharp through the first four games of the season, as evidenced by his 3.28 GAA and .893 save percentage in that span. However, he's snagged three wins on the young season thanks to a lethal offense that is averaging five goals per contest. Washington, on the other hand, is struggling with faceoffs (42 percent), yet the defending Stanley Cup champions are averaging 4.5 goals per game for an early third-place ranking in said category. Andersen could be in store for a busy night.

Andersen will patrol the blue paint on the road against the Red Wings on Thursday, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has given up four goals in each of his previous two starts for a disappointing .860 save percentage. Considering Detroit is putting up just 26.3 shots per game (eighth fewest in the league), it could be a lighter workload for the netminder. At this point, it would take a pretty long run of poor form for the Dane to loss the starting job to Garret Sparks, so look for the team to ride out his early season struggles.

Andersen stopped 30 of 34 shots in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second straight start that Andersen allowed four goals, but this one had a more favorable result due to incredible offensive support. Andersen has a .892 save percentage through his first three games. The Maple Leafs travel to Detroit for a desirable matchup Thursday.

Andersen will guard the cage in Tuesday's road game against the Stars, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen struggled in his last start Saturday against Ottawa, surrendering four goals on 23 shots en route to a 5-3 defeat. The Danish netminder will look to bounce back and pick up his second win of the season in a tough road matchup with a hot Dallas club that has racked up eight goals through its first two games.

Andersen will guard the cage in Saturday's home matchup with the Senators, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was sharp in his season debut Wednesday against Montreal, stopping 34 of 36 shots en route to a 3-2 overtime win. The Danish netminder will look to keep rolling in what should be a favorable matchup with an Ottawa team that only averaged 2.67 goals per game last season, 25th in the NHL.

Andersen made 34 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Montreal on Wednesday night.
EDGE Analysis
Nice start for a goalie with a reputation for slow starts. Andersen faced a lot of shots last year and delivered a career mark in wins. A little rest -- and improved team defence -- will go a long way toward Andersen delivering even better numbers this year.

Andersen will start in goal Wednesday, as the Maple Leafs play host to the Canadiens for the season opener, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will square off against a team that ranked 13th on the power play and 30th on the penalty kill last season. The Habs will also be without newly minted captain Shea Weber (knee) until mid-December, so Andersen's allied skaters -- including newcomer John Tavares -- will try to expose a relatively weak crop of defensemen to benefit the Danish netminder. Andersen went 38-21-5 with a 2.81 GAA and .918 save percentage last season.

Andersen will get the start in goal in Friday's home preseason game against the Red Wings, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen is expected to play the entire game Friday, making him an option fantasy owners will want to seriously consider in daily contests. The 28-year-old veteran has played well this preseason, posting a 1-0-0 record while registering a 2.14 GAA and .934 save percentage in three appearances.

Andersen is slated to get the starting nod against the Habs on Wednesday, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen might be making his final start of the preseason, as the club could use Friday and Saturday's contests -- both against Detroit -- to determine who the backup will be between Curtis McElhinney and Garret Sparks. The 28-year-old Andersen faced an astronomical 2211 shots last year and will no doubt be hoping his teammates can limited his workload this time around.

Andersen stopped 19 of 21 shots in two periods of action Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen's strong positional play made difficult saves look easy Saturday night. He is prone to slow starts, so this sharp play is great to see.
