Andersen has been a workhorse during his four years in Toronto, leading the NHL with 244 starts over that span. Had the 2020 season not been cut short, he would have won 30-plus games for the fourth straight season but posted a career-worst 2.85 GAA and .909 SVS%. He'll look to be sharper in 2021 and that starts with a matchup vs. Montreal. He is 3-0-1 with a .907 SV% in his first four opening night starts with the Maple Leafs.

Gostisbehere has missed the last couple of practices and will miss the season opener vs. the Penguins. Gostisbehere was skating on the top-pair in the middle of camp but Justin Braun will assume that role on Wednesday. Gostisbehere is not on IR, so he shouldn't miss an extended period of time.

Bayreuther spent all of the 2020 season with Texas (AHL), where he led all of their defensemen with 29 points (6G / 23A) in 59 games. He had a 19-game stint with Stars in 2019, picking up two goals and three assists. He's a solid puck-moving defenseman with decent offensive upside who will be somewhere around the No.8 D-man in the Blue Jackets' system.

Jankowski struggled in 2020, going from 32 points in 2019 to just seven points (5G / 2A) in 56 games last year. Jankowski moves on to Pittsburgh, where he is expected to serve as the third line centre behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. He has bounce-back potential but won't be anywhere near fantasy lineups.

Andersen played very well in Game 1 but allowed one soft goal and it was enough to cement the victory for Columbus. Overall, he stopped 33 of 34 shots in the loss but it was a good sign for Andersen, who has yet to win playoff series in his Maple Leafs career.
