On Sunday evening, at 8:00 EST, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs will resume their seasons, facing off in game one of their best-of-five play-in series for the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoff. After previewing the defensive matchups on Tuesday and the forward matchups on Wednesday, today we will be examining the goaltending matchups between the two teams.
Let’s dive in.
Toronto’s goaltending situation
Unlike the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Toronto Maple Leafs have an unquestioned number one in net. Frederik Andersen started 52 of the Leafs’ 70 games this season, and has started at least 60 games in each of the three previous seasons.
