Hold your breath, Toronto.

New Maple Leafs No. 1 goaltender Frederik Andersen was forced from Denmark's Olympic qualifier against Slovenia on Friday, after colliding with a teammate.

There's no word on the severity of the injury, according to European analyst Aivis Kalnins.

Andersen was acquired by Toronto in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks and signed a five-year contract worth $25 million to be the club's main man in the crease.

Turning 27 next month, Andersen is a member of Team Europe for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.
