Toronto Maple Leafs fans at Scotiabank Arena on Monday saw a familiar face in unfamiliar colors.

Goalie Frederik Andersen returned to Toronto for the first time as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes.
Andersen was given a nice ovation and waved to the crowd of 500 [attendance is still being limited in Canada due to the COVID-19 pandemic] during a stoppage in play.
The veteran, now in his ninth NHL season, spent the previous five with the Maple Leafs, posting a 149-74 record and 2.79 goals-against average. For the Hurricanes this season he 24-6 with a career-best 2.01 GAA. This past weekend, he played in his second NHL All-Star Game.
Andersen made 28 saves on Monday but the Hurricanes lost 4-3.
