Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen will start Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to head coach Mike Babcock.

Andersen wasn’t available for Monday’s win over the Los Angeles Kings due to a knee injury. Toronto recalled Eamon McAdam from the ECHL’s Newfoundland Growlers on an emergency basis for the game.

Andersen has a 4-1 record with a 3.02 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage so far this season.
