1 month agoCarolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will make his 13th start of the season in Sunday's showdown against the Winnipeg Jets. After winning six of his first seven appearances this season, Andersen has struggled as of late. He enters Sunday's action with a 1-4-0 run. The Danish netminder suffered four losses in a row before defeating the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 with 24 saves on Tuesday. Winnipeg leads the Western Conference and boasts the third-best scoring record in the league, making this a very difficult matchup for Andersen.

3 months agoCarolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will face the New York Rangers on Tuesday. He enters the matchup against Igor Shesterkin and the Rangers riding a five-game winning streak. However, Andersen hasn't been at his best since recovering from knee surgery. He has made two appearances since returning to action, allowing 3.47 goals with a .851 save percentage. The Danish netminder boasts a 5-1-0 record for the season with a 2.15 goals-against average and a .912 save percentage. Shesterkin has heated up this month with a 6-1-1 record, so Andersen will need to bring his A-game on Tuesday to maintain his winning streak.

Andersen improved to 4-1-0 for the year. He has logged a 1.78 goals-against average with a .929 save percentage.

3 months agoCarolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (knee) was activated from Injured Reserve Friday. He is expected to be the backup goalie for Friday's matchup against Vegas. Andersen has not played since late October, missing time due to a knee injury. He registered a 3-1-0 record at the start of the campaign, allowing 1.49 goals with a .941 save percentage. We should see Andersen back in the Hurricanes crease early next week as the team begins a back-to-back set on Monday against Chicago. Dustin Tokarski has been reassigned to the minors with Andersen's return.
