Andersen will draw the road start versus the Senators on Saturday, Mark Masters of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Backed by the league's top offense, Andersen has morphed into a must-start fantasy option in leagues that give big scoring bonuses for wins; he's picked up five of those in six tries. However, the Dane's peripherals (3.14 GAA, .899 save percentage) leave a lot to be desired, so Freddie presents the classic example of why it's super important to check the scoring settings in your league ahead of draft day.

Andersen stopped all 30 shots he faced during Tuesday's 2-0 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs were still a little loose defensively Tuesday, but there has been marked improvement in that regard over the past two games. As a result, Andersen's underwhelming ratios project to continue improving. Additionally, the Toronto offense looks capable of providing enough goal support for Andersen to take a run at leading the league in wins.

Andersen will face pucks from the Capitals in Tuesday's road contest, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has managed to snag four wins in his five starts this season but it definitely hasn't been pretty -- the Danish keeper has allowed at least three goals in four of those five starts and his only loss of the season came when he egregiously allowed six goals to the Devils on Wednesday. Tuesday does not represent a good matchup for the 28-year-old, as he'll have to attempt to slow down the white-hot Alex Ovechkin and an excellent Washington offense.

Andersen made 31 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen is 4-1, but his ratios have been less that stellar. His .880 save percentage is a bit of an anchor around your fantasy team's neck. So, you might have to weigh sitting Anderson soon, at least in the short term. Otherwise, you'll watch your ratios sink like a stone.

Andersen will see pucks from the Canadiens as Saturday's road starter, Paul Hendrick of the Maple Leafs' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson has posted a save percentage south of .900 in each of his last three starts, but the Leafs are leading the league in goals per game (5.5) in the early going; this helps explain how Freddie has only lost once in four tries in the infancy of this 2017-18 campaign. Meanwhile, Montreal is dead last with a measly five goals to date, making this a favorable matchup for Andersen.

Andersen made 25 saves on 31 shots in a 6-3 Wednesday loss to New Jersey at home.
EDGE Analysis
When the Leafs' offense has a tough night, Andersen's play of late simply isn't going to be good enough. The goaltender didn't get it done against New Jersey and has struggled all season. For now, he's not a great play on fantasy rosters.

Andersen will defend the cage for Wednesday's contest against New Jersey, Michael Augello of Sporting News-Canada reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite notching victories in each of his first three starts, the Dane's goals-against average is an ugly 3.28 and his .892 save percentage isn't much better. Andersen's success in the win-loss column can be entirely attributed to Toronto's offense, which has averaged an eye-popping 6.33 goals per game. Andersen and the Leafs may face a more difficult test Wednesday, though, as New Jersey and their netminder Cory Schneider have held their opponents to a total of just goals after two games.

Andersen saved 18 of 21 shots during Monday's 4-3 overtime win against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Chicago got fortunate bounces on all three goals, and Andersen wasn't tasked with many shots to help pad his save percentage. Toronto carried the play from the second period on. Still, while the Maple Leafs aren't having any offensive shortcomings, their defensive game has plenty of room for improvement. Andersen should be viewed as a strong goalie option in all settings, but he'll need to begin chipping away at his underwhelming ratios in short order to reach his fantasy upside.

Andersen will start in goal at home Monday versus the Blackhawks, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Danish netminder has only defeated Chicago's hockey club once in six career attempts, but the Maple Leafs have scored a jaws-to-the-floor 15 goals over their first two games; this very well could be a gamble worth taking.

Andersen made 30 saves in an 8-5 win over the Rangers on Saturday night.
EDGE Analysis
He is fully capable of some big plays, but he allowed the Rangers back into the game in the second period. It was almost like he got distracted by watching the young Buds buzzing the other goalie. Andersen's guard fell and suddenly, the score was knotted. He buckled down in the third and the Leafs added three more goals. Freddie is off to a great start to the season.
