Andersen will tend twine as Thursday's road starter versus the Devils, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
As noted in this report, the Danish goalie hasn't been yanked from any of his 16 starts, even though he's yielded at least five goals in a given contest five times this season. While that has hurt Andersen's peripherals (3.25 GAA, .901 save percentage), coach Mike Babcock's patience has been instrumental in helping his goalie reach 10 wins just a month and a half into the season. The Auston Matthews-less Leafs will be facing a Devils team that is 6-1-1 on the road and will welcome venerable centerman Travis Zajac (pectoral) back into the lineup.

Andersen stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over Boston on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen showed no ill effects from a minor arm injury in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, and he picked up his third consecutive win in the process. After struggling through the past few weeks, he seems to have things moving in the right direction with back-to-back games of allowing just two goals.

Andersen is the de facto home starter versus the Bruins based on Mark Masters of TSN.ca relaying from coach Mike Babcock that the Leafs will not be making any lineup changes from the last game.
EDGE Analysis
The Dane turned in one of his best performances of the season Wednesday, shaking off a minor arm injury and picking up 35 saves on 37 shots en route to his ninth win. Boston is the inferior defensive team, but sophomore sensation Auston Matthews (upper body) remains out with his injury, which obviously decreases the odds that Andersen will extend his winning streak to three games.

Andersen made 35 saves in a 4-2 win over the Wild on Wednesday night.
EDGE Analysis
He made some sparkling saves, especially in the second period when the Buds took three-straight minor penalties. Andersen did tweak his right arm at the 9:37 mark of the third and was in obvious discomfort, but remained in the game after speaking with the trainers during a TV timeout. It remains to be seen if the injury will affect his next start.

Andersen will get the starting nod for Wednesday's clash with Minnesota, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has allowed nine goals to find the back of the net in his previous two outings -- continuing a rough stretch of six games in which he registered just two wins and a 3.68 GAA. Fortunately for the 28-year-old, he could be in line for a lighter load Wednesday as the Wild are averaging a mere 29.1 shots on goal -- third lowest in the league.

Andersen picked up a win, but only stopped 25 of 28 shots in the 4-3 victory over Vegas on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen kept up his struggles with a low save percentage despite earning the victory over the Golden Knights. A win over a team that's flying high might help Andersen in terms of playing time, but he can't keep playing like this when the Leafs meet a team that can slow down their attacks.

Anderson will receive the start against Vegas on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson hasn't finished a season with a save percentage less than .914 in his career, but he's been struggling thus far in 2017-18 posting a 3.48 GAA and .895 save percentage in 13 contests -- including letting in a disappointing six goals in his last outing against St. Louis. With Vegas currently sitting in second place in the Pacific Division this won't be a particularly easy matchup for the 28-year-old, especially since he only had one rest day since his last start.

Andersen made 26 saves in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen's performances have yo-yo'd all season long. Sometimes great, sometimes gag-worthy, Andersen needs to improve his consistency to help the Leafs build on last year's successes. He also took a slash across the side of the mask in the the third period that went uncalled. Andersen stayed in and was seen shaking his head, not unlike you would do to try to shake off some cobwebs, when the play switched to the Blues' end. Keep an eye on this just in case it becomes worse after the game.

Andersen will start between the pipes in Saturday's road game against the Blues, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen hasn't been great this season, compiling a 7-5-0 record while maintaining a sub-par 3.26 GAA and .901 save percentage over 12 appearances. The 28-year-old netminder will look to return to form Saturday in a tough road matchup with a Blues team that's 5-1-0 at home this season.

Andersen made 28 saves on 29 shots in a 3-1 win over the Ducks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This snaps a three-game losing streak for Andersen. It's also an encouraging outing, considering that he had a 3.46 GAA and a .896 save percentage heading into this game.
