Andersen made 35 saves on 37 shot in the Maple Leafs’ 7-2 win in Winnipeg on opening night. Andersen kept the Maple Leafs in the game early, making a number of key saves on several penalty kills in the first period. It was a great start to the season for Andersen, who will make his second start vs. a Rangers team who lost their first game to Colorado.

Andersen was great in his first season in Toronto, winning 33 games with a 2.67 GAA and .918 SV%, all while playing behind a Maple Leafs team that gave up the third most shots in the NHL. They are a fast paced, high octane squad so expect him to be equally busy this season, but the offence will give a lot of goal support and opportunities for wins. The opening night matchup with the Jets is a rough one—Winnipeg was seventh in the NHL in scoring last year (3.00 GF/PG).

Despite Gostisbehere saying that he is ready to play on Wednesday, he skated on the Flyers’ fourth-pairing during Tuesday’s practice, which suggests that he may sit vs. the Sharks. Monitor his status during the Flyers’ morning skate tomorrow.

Fast, who underwent offseason hip surgery could be cleared for contact in the next couple of weeks, but is not expected to return to the Rangers lineup until late-October. With Fast out, one of the Rangers’ first-round picks, Lias Andersson and/or Filip Chytil, are expected to make the opening night roster.

Orlov is an impressive defenseman that combines high-end skating with physicality and offence. The Russian blueliner had six goals and 27 assists (33 points) in 82 games last season and should be able to post consistent 30-plus point seasons going forward.

Necas has high-end offensive ability and registered 15 points (7G / 8A) in 41 games en route to a Championship with HC Kometa Brno of the Czech Republic’s top league. Necas has great speed and creativity and brings a ton of compete to the Hurricanes' farm system.
