Los Angeles: Frederik Andersen, who shared the Williams Jennings Trophy last season for allowing the fewest goals in the league, was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks announced on Monday. Denmark’s Andersen and John Gibson combined to earn the Jennings award as the two allowed just 192 goals against during the 2015-16 regular season while sharing the goaltending duties with the Ducks. “This is managing your assets. I’m not worried about what we have left,” said Ducks general manager Bob Murray. “There was no animosity, but both goalies wanted to be number one. Both wanted the net.”
