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.
