The Toronto Maple Leafs got off to a quick start this season, but Frederik Andersen didn’t start off the way he would have liked.

Although the team is hovering near the top of the Atlantic Division, Andersen owns a 6-5 record to go along with a 3.45 goals against average and a .896 save percentage and has allowed five or more goals four times this season.

Like most players tend to do when they go through a rough patch, Andersen has decided to switch some things up and will be rocking a new mask going forward.
 

 

Thank you all for following my paintings, I am very happy and thankful for your interest and passion🙏🏻❤️. Frederik Andersen and I we brainstormed together how to create his next mask🎨. We came up with a plan🤔, how about mix old techniques with new, in a subtle way. How about create a whole Maple Leafs mask in brush stroke tech🖌, and mix it with 4-D FX✨👈🏻... It could be an interesting and surprising connection in style⚙️. The design is created with very strong contrasts⚪️🔵, a design that live and breath Toronto Maple Leafs🍁. It is all created with a very rough and raw brush🖌, so you can clearly see the brush strokes👀. It gives a very classic and living feeling. And in a total contrast we added DaveArt 4-D FX✨, so you can clearly physically feel the design when you touch it with your bare hands👈🏻. And also some magic DaveArt Hologram FX✨. Thank you Frederik! I am so happy and proud to be your personal artist🙏🏻😊. @frederikandersen31 @mapleleafs #DaveArt #nhl @bauergoalie #DaveArtTheCradleOfCreativity @nhl #DaveArt4D #DaveArtTheMaskNerd 🤓

The mask was designed by David Gunnarsson and consists of a giant Maple Leafs logo that stretches across the front of the mask, while the rest of the mask features many different tiny Maple Leafs logos from over the years.

The new addition to Andersen’s locker will look very sharp beside his current mask.
 

 

Today I have the honor to unleash the new Toronto Maple Leafs mask for my friend Frederik Andersen💪🏻🍁. The design is a direct continuation based on his previous Toronto mask🚀. A clean cut vintage styled mask created in hockey textiles… The textiles creates the design with the leafs on the sides🍁🎨. I just love the challenge to always try come up with new design ideas, every single new mask I paint is always the one and only🤓. And when you come closer to the design you will discover more and more details and it transforms into a Storyteller mask📕 in front of your eyes👀. And for sure all the DaveArt Trademark Super FX✨ is unleashed all over the bucket… Thanks Frederik! 🙏🏻 @frederikandersen31 @mapleleafs #DaveArt @bauergoalie #nhl @nhl #DaveArtTheMaskNerd 🤓 #DaveArtTheCradleOfCreativity @bauerhockey

The Maple Leafs are back in action on Wednesday night when they visit the Anaheim Ducks, but perhaps Andersen will have to wait until the team returns home next week before he gets to rock his new mask.
