Andersen will start in net Thursday, taking on the host Lightning, TSN's Mark Masters reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tampa Bay is smack dab in the middle of the league when it comes to home scoring at 2.97 goals per contest, though its still hurting down the middle with Tyler Johnson, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Cedric Paquette unavailable because of lower-body ailments and top pivot Steven Stamkos (knee) not quite ready to return. Andersen was prematurely pulled from his last start after yielding three goals on eight shots to the Panthers, but that could be an aberration as he had a three-game winning streak coming in.
