- Frederik Andersen said he'd like to play a game for the Toronto Maple Leafs before the end of the regular season after the goalie participated in a full practice for the first time in five weeks Monday.
- I think we still have some time hopefully to get into some game action.".
- "Of course that would be great for us, but our focus right now is just to go through this process and get Fred feeling comfortable and get him ready for game action, whenever that is," Keefe said.
- The Maple Leafs are scheduled to play at the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday and have eight games remaining before the regular season ends May 14 with a road game against the Winnipeg Jets.
- He accompanied the Maple Leafs on their recent four-game road trip against the Vancouver Canucks and Jets, and said being around his teammates helped his outlook.
- Andersen, who ranks fourth in Maple Leafs history with 149 wins, said he is not concerned that he can become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this injury-plagued season.
