Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen won't play Sunday in the club's final regular-season game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, head coach Mike Babcock confirmed, according to David Alter of the Athletic.

That said, the news surrounding Andersen - who left Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury - appears good as Babcock stated he showed "no symptoms of a concussion."

Babcock said Andersen should be well enough to return to practice Monday and is expected to start Game 1 of the playoffs, according to Alter.

The 27-year-old was forced from the playoff-clinching game mid-way through the second period after a collision with Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Sestito.

In turn, Curtis McElhinney - who picked up the win - will get the start against his former team.
