Andersen will be between the posts for Saturday night's clash in Pittsburgh, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has looked better recently after a horrific start to the season, winning four of his last five and posting a respectable .925 save percentage in that span. He'll have his hands full against an excellent Penguins offense that averages 3.0 goals per game and converts on 25 percent of its power plays.

Andersen denied 30 of 33 shots for a 6-3 home win over the Flyers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen surrendered all three goals before the third period, but Leafs defenseman Mike Rielly ended up with four points on the night to help the backstop to his sixth win in 12 games.

Andersen will man the crease against Philadelphia on Friday, Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will be back in goal after a disastrous previous start in which he allowed four pucks to find the back of the net on just 26 shots, ultimately getting the hook. The netminder will face a team that is third best in the NHL in goals per game at 3.36 and are converting 28.3 percent of their power-play opportunities. Despite Philadelphia's strong offensive numbers, the 27-year-old could still come away with a victory given the poor goaltending for the Flyers.

Andersen was pulled after allowing four goals on 26 shots Tuesday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
He was left high and dry, over and over again. Jonas Enroth replaced him and suffered the same fate. Chalk this one up to a learning experience for a young squad and put it behind them.

Andersen will start in goal Tuesday against the Kings, David Alter of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen enters Tuesday's contest having won each of his last three contests, posting a .948 save percentage and 2.06 GAA over that span. He will look to keep things rolling against a Kings club averaging just 2.25 goals per game this season.

Andersen stopped 23 of 26 shots Saturday before being replaced by Jhonas Enroth with 5:08 remaining. He was ejected after leaving his crease to join a fight in the Canucks' end of the ice.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen had been strong in the blue paint, but had seen enough when Ryan Miller bolted his crease and jumped Matt Martin, who was already in a fight. Andersen still earned the win and has now rung up three straight victories. The ship has been righted; this guy is as good as advertised from last season.

Andersen will defend the net Saturday night against the visiting Canucks, David Alter of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen needs the defenders working in front of him to exhibit better gap control. Over the last two games, the puck has reached Andersen a whopping 89 times, though the Dane stood on his head to stop all but three goals en route to wins over the Oilers and Sabres, respectively. After a putrid start to the season, Andersen has upped his save percentage to .903. We like his chances to keep it going Saturday, as he faces a Canucks team that currently ranks dead last in the NHL at 1.45 goals per match.

Andersen made 43 saves in a 2-1 win over Buffalo on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
He was spectacular at times, even diving off balance across the crease to pluck the puck out of the air on a sure goal to preserve the lead. Andersen started the season slowly, but he has gone 3-1 with just seven goals allowed in his last four starts. He's coming into his own in blue and white, much to the relief of the Leafs and his fantasy owners.

Andersen will start in goal for Thursday's road clash with the Sabres, David Alter of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen got off to an inauspicious start to the season -- 4.29 GAA through the first five games -- but he's settled down with only six goals allowed over the last three. As exciting as the rebuild is in Toronto with 2016 first overall pick Auston Matthews storming out of the gate, Andersen needs the young defenders in front of him to step up and halt the attack.

Andersen saved 42 of 44 shots during a win over the Oilers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Don't look now, but Andersen has stopped 100 of 106 shots (.943 save percentage) over his past three starts. The Maple Leafs are going to have plenty of peaks and valleys throughout the year because of the abundance of youth on their roster, but Andersen's hefty workload will provide fantasy owners with a nice return, as long as you're somewhat selective with his starts. After all, he's started eight of the first 10 games of the campaign.
