Leafs offer no update on Andersen, but hope he can start season finale

Tom Szczerbowski-USA TODAY Sports

The Toronto Maple Leafs appear optimistic that goaltender Frederik Andersen avoided serious injury after making an early exit from Saturday's playoff-clinching win over Pittsburgh.

So much so, in fact, head coach Mike Babcock isn't ruling Andersen out of Sunday's regular season finale in Columbus.

The tilt with the Blue Jackets is a meaningful one, as a single point earned would propel the Leafs into third place in the Atlantic, thereby setting up an opening-round series with Ottawa instead of Washington.
