Andersen will get the start in goal in Wednesday's Opening Night matchup with the Senators, Paul Hendrick of Leafs TV reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Leafs inked Andersen to a five-year, $27.5 million contract this offseason, so expectation are at an all-time high for the 27-year-old netminder. Andersen's play during preseason action has generated some cause for concern, as he posted an 0-2-0 record with a horrendous 4.18 GAA and .841 save percentage over three preseason appearances, exhibiting the difficulties that come with playing behind a team in rebuilding mode. It'll be interesting to see how Andersen fares Wednesday evening, as the Senators were one of the NHL's best offensive teams last season, averaging 2.94 goals per game (fifth in the NHL). Those looking for a goaltender to start in daily contests may want to shy away from Andersen until he draws into a more favorable matchup.
