Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe discusses why Joey Anderson deserved to get called up, praising the young star for his play with the Marlies and how the timing is right with injuries.

The New Jersey Devils' third-round pick in 2016, Anderson has played 58 career NHL games — six with Toronto — scoring eight goals and 13 points.
