The task for Frederik Andersen and the Leafs is to determine what combination of rest, practice and game action will give him the best chance possible in the playoffs. (reporterchris)
There is universal acknowledgement here that Andersen isn’t at his best right now. Where there seems to be a whiff of divergent opinion is how best to get him on track in these final days before the playoffs.
Andersen was visibly perturbed that night when told about his coach’s comment and chose not to discuss how much input he’s given in those sort of decisions: "I’m going to keep that between us. He can share whatever he wants to share." Andersen will make his 57th appearance here in Philadelphia on Wednesday night. He’s started seven games since his workload first came under heavy scrutiny on the Western Canada trip, delivering a solid 31-save outing in the March 9 win in Edmonton and then hitting a rough patch.Asked Wednesday how much he’d like to play down the stretch, Andersen demurred: "I don’t have a number for you. I think it’s just a matter of trying to approach it like a pre-season and get ready.
