Out indefinitely Per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer, Andersen (lower body) is out indefinitely, coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday.

Impact Andersen was injured Oct. 26 in Seattle and at the time is was thought that he was out week-to-week. But Brind'Amour stated Friday that Andersen would be "way longer" than the previous prognosis. Andersen was off to a great start, going 3-1-0 with a 1.49 GAA and a ,941 save percentage in four appearances.

Week-to-week Coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that Andersen (lower body) will be out week-to-week, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

Impact Andersen was injured Saturday in Seattle and while it was thought the injury wasn't serious, it turns out it was. Pyotr Kochetkov takes over as the No. 1 goaltender in the interim while Spencer Martin will be his backup. Andersen is 3-1-1 with a sizzling 1.49 GAA and an impressive .940 save percentage in four appearances this season.

Expected back in short-term Andersen (lower body) is still being evaluated by coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters he was "under the impression that it shouldn't be too serious," per Walt Ruff of the Hurrican...

Impact Even with a somewhat positive update, Andersen should probably be expected to miss out versus the Bruins on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. The veteran backstop had been playing every other game to open the season while splitting the crease with Pyotr Kochetkov, which would have meant Andersen got the nod Thursday. Instead, it looks like Kochetkov could go in consecutive games for the first time this year.

Unavailable Monday Andersen (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Monday's game against Vancouver, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Andersen sustained an injury in Saturday's 4-1 win over Seattle. He is day-to-day for now, and the Hurricanes will evaluate him further once the team returns to Raleigh. Spencer Martin was recalled from AHL Chicago on Monday to be Pyotr Kochetkov's backup versus the Canucks.

Takes care of business Andersen stopped 18 of 19 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Andersen picked up his third straight win, and the Hurricanes' defense made it a fairly easy one for the 35-year-old goalie. The Kraken's lone goal came on an odd-man rush in the third period. Andersen has allowed just six goals on 101 shots while going 3-1-0 over his first four outings of the season. If the Hurricanes continue to alternate goalie starts, Pyotr Kochetkov will get the nod Monday in Vancouver, while Andersen is projected to start at home Thursday versus the Bruins.

Impact Andersen has won two of three outings this season. He has stopped 58 of 61 shots en route to winning his past two starts. Seattle has scored 26 goals in eight games this campaign.

Excellent in win over Oilers Andersen stopped 33 of 35 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Oilers.

Impact Andersen was beaten twice by Connor McDavid, once in the first period and once in the second during a power-play situation, but he was excellent the rest of the way. Andersen has been splitting the early-season starts with Pyotr Kochetkov, and while the platoon might continue in the coming weeks, there's no question Andersen needed a performance like Tuesday's to bolster his numbers. Through three appearances, the 35-year-old netminder has a 2-1-0 record with a 1.65 GAA and a .939 save percentage.

Carolina Hurricanes storm back, beat Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in overtime

Exits ice first Tuesday Andersen was the first goalie off the ice Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he'll guard the cage on the road versus Edmonton.

Impact Andersen has been splitting the early-season starts with Pyotr Kochetkov, posting a 1-1-0 record, 3.05 GAA and .867 save percentage. Looking to the rest of the campaign, Andersen should continue to work in a platoon, though injuries have limited his availability in recent campaigns.

Earns win vs. Pittsburgh Andersen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Andersen earned his first win of the season Friday and looked impressive between the pipes, turning aside every shot his way except for a first-period goal from Drew O'Connor. Andersen has allowed just three goals on 47 shots across his first two outings this season, but given the Hurricanes are playing in the second half of a back-to-back Saturday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Pyotr Kochetkov patrol the road crease against St. Louis on Saturday.

Set to start Friday Andersen was the first goalie off Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he'll be in goal on the road against Pittsburgh.

Impact Andersen drew the Opening Night start for the Hurricanes at home last Friday and turned aside 19 of 21 shots in a loss to the Lightning. Andersen will be back in the crease for the first half of a back-to-back Friday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Pyotr Kochetkov patrol the road crease against St. Louis on Saturday.

Gives up two goals in loss Andersen gave up two goals and made 19 saves in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

Impact There's no question this wasn't the start Andersen would've wanted, but on the other hand, he was facing one of the top offensive units in the NHL, so a defeat was well within the realm of possibilities. The scoreline looks worse than his personal stat line, however, as two of the four Lightning goals came on empty-netters in the final stages of the game. Andersen went 13-2-0 with three shutouts, a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 16 regular-season games last season, and he'll look to bounce back against the Devils on Tuesday.

Starting season opener Andersen will protect the home goal versus the Lightning on Friday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Impact Andersen will get the nod as the Hurricanes open the season at home. The 35-year-old went 13-2-0 with three shutouts, a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 16 regular-season games last season, but a blood-clotting disorder cost him a large chunk of the campaign. Andersen is expected to share the goaltending duties with Pyotr Kochetkov in 2024-25.

Saturday's game postponed Saturday's game between Lightning and Hurricanes in Tampa Bay has been postponed due to Hurricane Milton.

Impact The two teams will meet in Carolina on Friday on Opening Night, but will have to wait for Saturday's game to be rescheduled. Andersen is expected to get the start Friday after going 13-2-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 16 appearances during the 2023-24 regular-season.

Busy against Preds Andersen stopped 29 of 31 shots before being replaced by Spencer Martin to begin the third period in Saturday's preseason win over the Predators.

Impact The veteran netminder left the game with his team ahead 3-2 in an eventual 5-3 victory, and his early exit wasn't due to any sort of injury but was planned by Carolina. Keeping Andersen healthy will be a top priority in 2024-25 -- while Pyotr Kochetkov is a capable goalie as well, Andersen has a stellar 2.22 GAA and .918 save percentage in 102 games over his three seasons with the Hurricanes.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Saturday Andersen is expected to start in Saturday's road preseason game against Nashville, per Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.

Impact The Predators are dressing a roster similar to what they're likely to have for the start of the regular season, so this should be a good tune-up contest for Andersen. The 35-year-old netminder had a 13-2-0 record, 1.84 GAA and .932 save percentage in 16 regular-season games in 2023-24. He's expected to be Carolina's No. 1 netminder this season, but he has a lengthy injury history, which makes it risky to pencil him in for a lot of starts this year.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Andersen is expected to start at home in Friday's preseason game against Florida, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Andersen had a 13-2-0 record, 1.84 GAA and .932 save percentage in 16 regular-season contests with the Hurricanes in 2023-24. As those numbers indicate, he can be a fantastic goaltender when healthy, but the 34-year-old goaltender has a substantial injury history, which makes him a risky netminder for fantasy managers to draft.
