Andersen hasn’t suited up in the NHL since March 19. The 31-year-old returned to Maple Leafs practice on Monday following a pair of conditioning appearances with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, stopping 46 of 52 shots against over a game and a half.

Andersen is 13-8-2 in 23 games this season with a 3.77 goals-against average and a .885 save percentage.

Forward Nick Foligno and defenceman Justin Holl will both be game-time decisions on Wednesday. Acquired ahead of the trade deadline, Foligno has missed the Leafs’ last two games with an upper-body injury. Holl missed practice on Monday with an undisclosed injury.
