TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired goaltender Frederik Andersen in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.

Anaheim receives Toronto's 30th overall selection from the upcoming NHL draft and a second round pick in the 2017 draft.

The Maple Leafs originally acquired the 30th overall pick from Pittsburgh in the trade that sent star forward Phil Kessel to the Penguins.

Andersen posted a 22-9-7 record with a 2.30 goals-against-average and .919 save percentage in 43 games last season with the Ducks. The 26-year-old also went 3-2 with a 1.41 goals-against average and .947 save percentage in five playoff starts in the 2016 post-season.

He has a 77-26-12 record with a 2.33 GAA and .918 save percentage over 125 career regular season games with Anaheim. Andersen also holds a 17-9-2 career post-season record with a 2.34 GAA and .916 save percentage.

In the 2014-15 season, Andersen became the fastest goaltender to reach the 26-win mark (26-5-0) in NHL history and tied the league record for the fastest to 50 career wins (50-13-5), originally set by Montreal's Bill Durnan (50-9-9) in 1944.

The Herning, Denmark native was selected by Anaheim in the third round (87th overall) of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
