Andersen allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs’ win over the Wild last Tuesday. Andersen has won his last two starts while stopping 52 of 56 shots (.929 SV%) and will make his seventh start on Saturday night. The 30-year-old was 1-1-0 while giving up eight goals on 68 shots in his two regular-season starts vs. the Bruins last year.
Andersen allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Detroit on Saturday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Andersen, who is now 3-2-0 with a 3.38 GAA and .886 SV% in his first five starts. He is a must-start against the 1-4-0 Wild, who are on the tail-end of a back-to-back and are averaging just 2.40 goals per game.
Jarry won the Penguins backup job, perhaps because of a lower AAV than Casey DeSmith but he’s Matt Murray’s backup nonetheless. With Murray starting the first five games of the season, including last night, Jarry will make his season debut in Winnipeg. He was 23-23-3 with a 2.66 GAA and .915 SV% in the AHL last season and has a .906 career SV% in 29 NHL appearances.
Andersen was lit up for seven goals on 28 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Lightning on Thursday. After winning both of his first two starts, Andersen has dropped back-to-back games while giving up a combined 10 goals on 58 shots (.828 SV%). He’ll try to get back on track in Detroit on Saturday—Andersen was 1-0-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .903 SV% in two games vs. the Red Wings last year.
Andersen gave up three goals on 30 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Blues on Monday. The loss snapped a two-game winning streak to open the season for Andersen, who has allowed just seven goals on 85 shots (.918 SV%) to open the season. He had a tough time vs. the Lightning last year, going 1-3-0 with a 3.55 GAA and .887 SV%.
Murphy missed the Blackhawks season opener but will draw into the lineup on Thursday. Murphy, who had 13 points (5G / 8A) in 52 games last year, will skate on the third pair with Slater Koekkoek.
Andersen made 28 saves on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs 4-1 win in Columbus on Friday. Andersen made a number of huge saves to preserve Toronto’s lead and has started the season 2-0 while stopping 51 of the 55 shots (.927 SV%) that he has faced in his first two starts. On Monday, he will face the reigning Stanley Cup Champions, who he was 0-1-1 with a 3.02 GAA and .908 SV% against last year.
Dickinson played just 6:14 TOI before leaving Thursday’s game with an upper-body injury. With Blake Comeau also suffering an injury last night, the Stars have recalled Nick Caamano and Rhett Gardner from Texas (AHL).
Andersen allowed three goals on 26 shots in the Maple Leafs 5-3 win over the Senators on opening night. Getting the ‘W’ is all that matters, but Andersen will be hoping for better performances in the future. He is a great option against a Blue Jackets team that lost a few key pieces this offseason.

Dickinson was cross-checked in the Stars season opener and is expected to be sidelined for at least a week. The Stars will need to recall a forward from Texas (AHL) to replace Dickinson on Saturday.
With Adam Larsson going on LTIR, replacing Ethan Bear with Bouchard increases the Oilers' LTIR pool. Bouchard was close to making the team out of training camp and earns his first call-up because of some salary cap manipulation.
Hyman, who is expected to miss the first 12-to-15 games of the season, practiced with his teammates for the first time since undergoing knee surgery. If Hyman can make quick progress, he could return to the lineup by late-October.
Murphy has landed on IR to begin the 2019-20 season but is not expected to be sidelined long-term. Slater Koekkoek will open the year as the Blackhawks No.6 defensemen while Murphy is out.
Andersen has been a model of consistency during his tenure in Toronto. The Dane has averaged 64 starts and 36 wins while posting a 2.75 GAA and .918 SV%. The Maple Leafs want to scale back his workload in 2019-20, but he remains a high-end fantasy option. His opening night matchup is outstanding, but Andersen was 1-1-0 with a 4.11 GAA and .881 SV% in two games vs. Ottawa last season.
Hyman underwent offseason knee surgery to repair a torn ACL and is expected to miss 12-15 games according to head coach Mike Babcock. With Hyman out to begin the season, Kasperi Kapanen is expected to skate on Tavares’ line and Ilya Mikheyev should make the opening night roster.
During his first full season with the Maple Leafs, Kapanen registered 20 goals and 24 assists (44 points) in 78 games. The 22-year-old was quiet during the postseason but should be able to build off of strong start to his NHL career. However, Kapanen’s ceiling may be limited because he is destined to play third-line minutes on a deep Toronto roster.
Janmark, 26, took a step back in 2018-19, scoring just six goals with 19 assists (25 points) in 81 games. Janmark is a key penalty killer for the Stars, ranking third among forwards in shorthanded time on ice per game (1:30). During Dallas’ playoff run, Janmark had one goal and two assists (three points) while appearing in seven of their 13 playoff games.
