2. v. Buffalo Sabres

It’s not like Andersen was interfered with here. Oh wait, he was and still manages to make an incredible save for what should’ve been an easy goal for All-Star Zemgus Girgensons. Yes, he was at an All-Star Game thanks to Latvian fans. Let’s not forget that.

Back to the save. Again, Andersen shows tremendous athleticism by spreading across to stop the puck on the goal line. Girgensons it left all alone at the side of the net because Ben Smith wasn’t doing his job.

It doesn’t phase Andersen who knows he’ll have to put on a clinic every once in a while because of the meek crop of Leafs defenders. After making the initial save, he stops another shot and redirects it behind the net to get back in position.
