Andersen stopped 28 of 29 shots in the Ducks shootout loss to the Coyotes last night. After having a three-day break, Andersen will start back-to-back games for the fifth times this season. Andersen is 2-2-0 with a 3.99 GAA and .875 SV% on zero days rest this season.
Staal has not played yet this season after fracturing his fibula in the preseason. He will make his season debut on a line with his brother Eric and Nathan Gerbe. He had 40 points (15G / 25A) in 82 games last season. If he can play at that pace again this season, he would be able to post close to 25 points in the remaining 47 games.
Andersen allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Ducks win over the Sharks on Monday. It was a penalty and fight filled contest, but Andersen was able to stay focused and record his 19th win of the season. Tonight he makes his third start vs.Arizona, he is 1-0-1 with 1.45 GAA and .942 SV% in the first two.
Andersen allowed one goal on 24 shots in Thursday’s win over the Canadiens last Thursday. He was given Friday night off, but will be back in goal tonight vs. the Sharks. In his first two starts vs. San Jose, Andersen is 0-2-0 with a 6.27 GAA and .839 SV%.
Gardiner served as a healthy scratch on Saturday, but will replace Stephane Robidas tonight vs. Chicago. Gardiner has not recorded a point in six games and is a minus-2 rating over that stretch. He has eight points (2G / 6A) in 30 games this season.
Gardiner is on the ice for warmups, but he is skating as an extra, which suggests that Gardiner will be out and Korbinian Holzer will be in.
Andersen was yanked after he allowed four goals on 20 shots in the Ducks loss to the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. The loss snapped a seven game winning streak for Andersen. Seven in a row sounds good, but Andersen has a 2.67 GAA and .903 SV% over the eight game span—showing the Ducks are really winning in spite of Andersen, not because of him.

Staal missed the skate because of some “soreness”, but he will play tonight vs. the Leafs. Staal has just one goal in his last seven games and 16 points (7G / 9A) in 25 games this season.
Andersen stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Ducks win over the Jets on Saturday. He was won an impressive seven starts in a row with a 2.40 GAA and .914 SV%. He will look to keep it going tonight in Toronto. The Ducks and the Maple Leafs are two of the NHL’s hottest teams, so it should be great battle.
Andersen stopped 21 of 23 shots in the Ducks win over the Oilers last night. It was not an overly busy night for Andersen which will allow him to start his 18th consecutive game. Over the span of 17 straight starts, Andersen has gone 10-3-4 with a 2.86 GAA and .899 SV%. If he starts tonight, he comes in with a 8-1-2 road record.

Andersen turned aside 21 of 22 shots in the Ducks win over the Oilers on Wednesday. He has recorded the W in five straight starts and should be able to make it six in a row tonight in Edmonton. The Oilers are struggling mightily and the Ducks are playing well, get him in your lineup.
Martinook, 22, had no points and a plus-1 rating in two games during his recall. It was good experience for the 2012 second round pick (58th overall) who heads back to the AHL where he has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 21 games.
Andersen allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Ducks win over Winnipeg on Sunday. He has won his last four start despite allowing 13 goals. His numbers are not great but he continues to rack up wins thanks to a high powered Ducks offence. He is a must-start tonight against the Oilers on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Staal, who has been skating by himself lately, will join the team tomorrow for the first time this season. He remains without a timetable for when he will return to full practice, but this is another step in the right direction for Staal.
Staal, who suffered a foot injury on Sunday vs. Detroit, played through the pain on Monday, but missed today’s practice. Coach Bill Peters expects to have Staal on the ice for tomorrow’s pre game skate and have him in the lineup when they take on the Lightning tomorrow night. Staal has gone cold, failing to record a point in his last four games. He has 15 points (6G / 9A) in 22 games this season.
We won't know until the end of warmups, whether or not Staal will play. But in a quiet night in the NHL you can probably activate him and not miss out on other players if he doesn't play.
