Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Frederik Andersen is day to day with a groin injury and will miss Saturday's game against the New York Islanders, the team announced.
Goaltender Kasimir Kaskisuo has been recalled on an emergency basis.
The news comes a day after backup goaltender Garret Sparks was given the reins in the Leafs' 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Andersen has gone 3-0-1 in his last four games. He currently sits second in the league with 20 wins and ranks seventh in both goals-against average and save percentage among goalies who have played at least 15 contests.
Kaskisuo has gone 3-5-0 in 11 games this season for the AHL's Toronto Marlies, compiling a 4.12 goals-against average and a .866 save percentage.
