The Toronto Maple Leafs are about to see their new goalie in game action for the first time, as Frederik Andersen is scheduled to make his preseason debut when the Maple Leafs play the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday in Saskatoon.
Andersen is entering year one of a five-year, $25-million contract signed upon joining the Maple Leafs, and will serve as the club's undisputed No. 1 option in net.
Acquired in the offseason from Anaheim, Andersen was forced out of the World Cup with an upper-body injury suffered while representing Denmark in Olympic qualifying.
Andersen, 27, posted a record of 22-9-7 with a .919 save percentage in 43 games for the Ducks last season.
