ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Less than a minute after each of his team's goals, Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen gave up a score to the Washington Capitals. Didn't take long for him to get pulled from the Stadium Series outdoor game at the U.S. Naval Academy, either.
Andersen turned in his latest shaky performance as the playoffs approach, allowing five goals on 25 shots in a little more than 1 1/2 periods Saturday night, and the Leafs lost to Alex Ovechkin's Capitals 5-2.
Toronto coach Mike Babcock seemed to finally lose patience with the Danish goalie that Toronto has been figuring it could count on to carry the team when the games matter the most.
