Andersen will start in goal Thursday against host New Jersey, the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old netminder extended his career-high win total to 37 before resting against the Jets and Sabres and taking us to this point. Andersen will see shots from a Devils team that has won three straight and needs either one point (or a Panthers loss to the Bruins) to clinch a playoff berth.

Andersen yielded four goals on 33 shots in a 5-4 victory over the Islanders on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old has struggled a bit over the last three games, but he keeps winning. He has posted a .902 save percentage since Mar. 10, and yet, Andersen is 5-2-0 during that stretch. The tough March caused his save percentage and GAA to dip below where they were last season, but Andersen still has a career-high 37 wins this season. And for owners with saves as a category, he also leads the league with 1,961 stops.

Andersen will start between the pipes in Friday's road game against the Islanders, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was a little shaky in his last start Wednesday against the Panthers, surrendering three goals on 33 shots, but he did enough to pick up his 36th win of the season thanks to solid goal support from his teammates. The Danish netminder will look to keep rolling and secure a second straight victory in a road matchup with a Islanders team that's compiled a disappointing 17-17-4 record at home this campaign.

Andersen stopped 30 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The victory was Andersen's 36th of the season, setting a new career high, while it also set Leafs franchise records for wins (46) and home wins (27) in a season. The 28-year-old has been relying on his offense to get in the win column in recent weeks, but with Toronto all but locked into a first-round series with the Bruins that would begin in Boston, don't be surprised if Andersen gets an extra night off or two to rest and re-focus before the postseason.

Andersen will field shots from the Panthers at home Wednesday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen should be anxious for a clean slate after losing to the Sabres on Monday when he allowed two of his three goals from 21-year-old scoring sensation Jack Eichel, who bested Andersen's key forward ally, Auston Matthews. The Danish goalie has been brilliant against the Panthers, though, as he's allowed them to score on him just once over 83 shots between two starts.

Andersen stopped 24 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first loss for the Leafs on home ice since Jan. 22. Andersen continues to stumble towards the finish line this season, posting an .890 save percentage over his last 11 games, and with the Leafs close to locked into the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs -- they're five points up on the Penguins with six games to go -- Curtis McElhinney could see a couple of extra starts down the stretch to allow Andersen a chance to clear his head and get some rest.

Andersen will start in goal against the visiting Sabres on Monday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will vie for a new career high in wins (36) with the odds certainly in his favor. The Dane will field shots from a Sabres team with the league's worst record; one that owns a putrid minus-74 goal differential. He'll be a chalky play in DFS contests on a nine-game slate, which is busier than your average Monday.

Andersen made 38 saves in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The win was Andersen's 35th; that matched his career mark set in Anaheim in 2014-15. The Leafs' postseason is directly tied to Andersen. As he goes, so will the Buds. So watch for him to get a bit of rest in the next week or so. You may need another option as your season ends.

Andersen will start in goal against the visiting Red Wings on Saturday evening, TSN reports
EDGE Analysis
It looks like the Red Wings are folding with eight games left on their regular-season docket. The Original Six franchise has lost nine of their past 10 games, whereas the Maple Leafs will by vying for their 13th consecutive win in Toronto and basically have a playoff spot locked in. Andersen -- who has gone 34-19-5 with a 2.80 GAA and .918 save percentage -- is sure to be a chalky play in DFS settings based on the ripe matchup.

Andersen made 23 saves on 25 shots in Thursday's win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
It was a great bounce-back showing from Andersen, who was burned for four goals in his return from an upper-body injury Tuesday against the Lightning. The 28-year-old advances to 34-19-5 on the season with a .918 save percentage. Andersen should see a heavy workload down the final stretch as he looks to set a new career high in wins (35).
