Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen will start Wednesday against the Nashville Predators after a brief injury scare, head coach Mike Babcock told reporters, including Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Andersen left Monday's game against the Anaheim Ducks after taking a skate to the head from Corey Perry, although Babcock said postgame the goaltender was "fine."

Andersen returned to practice Tuesday without incident, but Babcock said he wouldn't make a decision about Wednesday's starter until game day.

The goaltender currently sports a 2.66 goals-against average with a .921 save percentage and four shutouts.
