The Toronto Maple Leafs will turn to Michael Hutchinson again.
The club's new acquisition will start Saturday's game against the Vancouver Canucks, head coach Mike Babcock told reporters, including NHL.com's Mike Zeisberger, on Friday.
Meanwhile, the team revealed Garret Sparks has been diagnosed with a concussion, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston. Sparks went through protocol following Wednesday's practice.
Hutchinson stopped 30 of 34 shots in his Leafs debut Thursday, a 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild. Toronto acquired the 28-year-old in a trade with the Florida Panthers on Dec. 29.
Frederik Andersen will miss his fifth straight game with a nagging groin injury. He was placed on injured reserve Thursday, retroactive to Dec. 23.
The Leafs reassigned netminder Kasimir Kaskisuo to the AHL's Toronto Marlies earlier Friday.
