Toronto Maple Leafs: Freddie’s Top Ten Saves of the Season
By Josh Tessler
Number Ten
The first save that I’ll showcase is Andersen shutting down Christian Dvorak of the Arizona Coyotes.
With approximately 7 minutes left in the second period, the Coyotes are on the power-play. In the video below you can see Anthony Duclair, formerly of the Coyotes and now of the Chicago Blackhawks, parks himself in front of Andersen. Duclair collects a pass and fires a shot. His shot ricochets off of Andersen’s pads. The puck then ends up in the hands of Dvorak. Dvorak takes a shot and Andersen silences him with an incredible glove save.
Number 9
The ninth best save is Andersen robbing Jonathan Huberdeau of the Florida Panthers.
To provide some background, the Panthers are on the power-play in the second period. Defenseman, Keith Yandle is at the point with the puck. Yandle spots Huberdeau unattended on Andersen’s left side. Yandle slingshots a pass to Huberdeau. Huberdeau fires a wrist shot, but Andersen denies him.
