Projected Lineup: Canes at Maple Leafs

TORONTO, ON. -Frederik Andersen is expected to take on his former team tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs, as he starts in net for his Carolina Hurricanes.

Andersen comes fresh off of All-Star Weekend in Vegas, flying straight to Ontario instead of returning to Raleigh for a quick practice Sunday. The star netminder earned a victory over his old club earlier this season, turning away 24 of 25 in a 4-1 victory.
In front of Andersen, Teuvo Teravainen is a game-time decision again tonight. Yesterday post-practice Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the week off did not help the left-handed winger as much as he'd hoped, as he continues to struggle with a lower-body injury suffered on January 21 against the New York Rangers.
On the blue line, Brendan Smith comes back in for Ethan Bear.
The team's projected lineup tonight is as follows:
Forwards:
Martinook - Aho - Necas
Svechnikov - Trocheck - Jarvis
Niederreiter - Staal - Fast
Lorentz - Stepan - Teravainen\
Defensemen:
Slavin - DeAngelo
Skjei - Pesce
Smith - Cole
Starting Goalie:
Andersen
