The Toronto Maple Leafs will turn to Frederik Andersen in goal for the second consecutive night when they take on the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday.
Andersen started Tuesday's 6-1 loss in Philadelphia, but head coach Sheldon Keefe said the netminder asked to suit up again in order "to be in the fight with the guys," according to NHL.com's Dave McCarthy.
The Leafs crumbled in the third period versus the Flyers, allowing five goals after tying the score at 1-1 midway through the final frame. Following the embarrassing defeat, Auston Matthews said the team "just folded."
Toronto initially planned to start backup Michael Hutchinson, who is 0-5-1 this season with an .876 save percentage and a 4.55 goals-against average.
Andersen is 13-6-3 with a .917 save percentage in 22 games played.
