Andersen left Toronto after losing his starting job to
Jack Campbell over the course of the 2020-2021 season due to injury and some seriously subpar performances. The Leafs and Canes ended up swapping goalies in free agency, as
Petr Mrazek joined the Leafs while Andersen signed with the Hurricanes. So far, the Hurricanes have gotten the better of the deal, with Andersen having a stellar start to the season, nearly tying Jack Campbell's NHL record for most consecutive wins to start an NHL season. Mrazek has spent most of his first season in Toronto sidelined due to injury.
