Frederik Andersen Could Be Back In Action Next Week
10 months agoCarolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (illness) is on the cusp of returning to the lineup. Hurricanes president and general manager Don Waddell told Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer on Thursday that Andersen should be playing "hopefully in this next week sometime." Andersen hasn't seen any action since early November, when he was ruled out indefinitely with a blood clotting issue. He went 4-1-0 in the few starts he made early in the campaign, registering a 2.87 goals-against average with a .894 save percentage. Carolina has coped with Andersen's absence incredibly well, with Pyotr Kochetkov, Antti Raanta (lower body), and Spencer Martin helping the team to the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. With his colleagues in top form, Andersen might have to settle for a lighter workload than he's used to once he's back.
