Options for the Maple Leafs in net if they decide they need to add
Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen hasn’t skated in almost two weeks. Jack Campbell has filled in admirably.
Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas is focusing on a top-six forward, but they currently have two goaltenders that are a little banged. If one ends up happening to go on the LTIR, they’d need to find another goaltender.

Emily Sadler of Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Sportsnet 960 Frederik Andersen the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie situation.
“At this point in time, they don’t believe Andersen’s injury — whatever it is — is season-ending. So, that’s No. 1. No. 2, what I understand they’ve told other teams is, ‘we don’t have a ton of cap room and we’re not burning it on a goalie unless we absolutely have to.’ So, the fact they’re not running out and saying, ‘I gotta get a goalie,’ says to me that they believe Andersen is coming back.”
