Frederik Andersen comes up big as Maple Leafs down Wild 4-2
TORONTO — Frederik Andersen made some timely saves on Wednesday — most notably in the second period with the game tied — that proved to be the difference for his Toronto Maple Leafs.
Andersen stopped 35 shots in all as Toronto downed the Minnesota Wild 4-2 for its second straight win.
“He won them the game,” said Wild coach Bruce Boudreau.
The Leafs took three straight minor penalties in the second, including two tripping calls on defenceman Andreas Borgman, that could have led to a disaster. But Andersen was there to keep it a 1-1 game long enough for his team to pay him back.
