from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun,
The 7-4 home win was completed minus Leafs MVP Andersen, knocked out halfway through the game when the airborne left skate of Corey Perry struck the Leafs goaltender under the mask as the Ducks forward stumbled over Toronto defenceman Ron Hainsey.
Andersen wasn’t cut, but shed his mask and cradled his jaw in his mitts for a few moments before heading to the dressing room for likely concussion protocol. That was enough to cause panic up and down Bay St., but head coach Mike Babcock was encouraged by a post-game chat with the goalie.
“I think he’s fine, I was just talking to him,” Babcock said a few minutes after Curtis McElhinney supplied the victory in relief. “We’ll see what goes on (Tuesday morning).”
