FREDERIK ANDERSEN NEWS

Wins in return from injury Andersen made 24 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken on Thursday.

Impact Andersen had missed the last three games after taking a puck to the mask in a win at San Jose on Oct. 17. He was exactly what the Hurricanes needed to snap a three-game losing streak. The net belongs to Andersen as long as he's healthy, but he won't have a heavy workload -- he gets injured far too much. But while he's in the blue paint, Andersen should be in your lineup, too.

Starting versus Kraken Andersen will protect the home goal versus the Kraken on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Andersen hasn't played since taking a puck off the mask versus the Sharks on Oct. 17. He was the backup for the Hurricanes' 3-0 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday, and Andersen will get back in the crease a game later. The Dane has allowed nine goals on 62 shots through his three appearances this season.

Set for backup duty Andersen (upper body) will back up Pyotr Kochetkov in Tuesday's game versus the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Andersen isn't yet ready to start a game, but he's moved past his injury enough to dress as the backup. The 34-year-old netminder missed two contests with the injury. The Hurricanes' goaltending has been abysmal thus far, so any member of the trio of Andersen, Kochetkov and Antti Raanta could carve out a larger role with a stretch of good performances.

Remains unavailable Andersen (upper body) won't be in the lineup Saturday against Colorado, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.

Sitting out Thursday Andersen (upper body) will sit out Thursday's game versus the Kraken, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Andersen left his last start in the first period after getting hit in the mask. The 34-year-old's absence is being described as precautionary, so there's little reason for long-term concern at this time. Pyotr Kochetkov will back up Antti Raanta in Seattle.

Leaves start in first period Andersen left Tuesday's game versus the Sharks for precautionary reasons after taking a shot to the mask.

Impact The Hurricanes didn't specify the nature of the injury, but it's safe to assume it's an upper-body issue for the goalie. Andersen stopped one of two shots prior to his exit. Antti Raanta took over in goal and would likely assume the starter role if Andersen misses any additional time beyond Tuesday.

Holds on for shootout win Andersen stopped 25 of 30 shots in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Kings.

Impact The Hurricanes led 5-2 just after the middle of the second period, but Andersen couldn't make that lead stick. Despite the late fade, he ended up stopping seven of nine shootout attempts to secure the win, his second in as many starts this season. Andersen has allowed eight goals on 60 shots to begin 2023-24. He'll likely rotate regularly with Antti Raanta as the Hurricanes are expected to use a tandem to keep both of their goalies fresh. They play again Sunday in Anaheim.

Starting Opening Night Andersen will guard the home goal versus the Senators on Wednesday.

Impact Andersen once again opens the season as the Hurricanes' top goalie, with Antti Raanta as his understudy. The 34-year-old Andersen was limited to 34 games last season, recording a 21-11-1 record, a 2.48 GAA and a .903 save percentage, a down year by his standards. With Pyotr Kochetkov waiting in the minors, Andersen will need to stay sharp to keep the No. 1 job this year.

NHL contract grades: Frederik Andersen stays in Carolina on two-year deal Carolina knows what it’s doing. They have a very solid goalie tandem for under $5 million.

JULY 1, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Signs two-year deal Andersen inked a two-year, $6.8 million pact with Carolina on Saturday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Impact Andersen was reportedly set to land elsewhere but was able to finalize a deal to remain in Carolina. The club also re-signed Antti Raanta on Saturday, so fantasy players should expect the duo to split the workload heading into the 2023-24 campaign.

Looking to avoid elimination Andersen will start on the road in Wednesday's Game 4 versus the Panthers, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Impact Andersen has allowed just four goals on 77 shots in two appearances during the Eastern Conference Finals, but he's ended up with a loss in both of those games. He'll get the chance to help the Hurricanes avoid elimination Wednesday, as the Panthers are looking to sweep the series.

Can't prevent sweep Andersen turned aside 20 of 24 shots in a 4-3 loss to Florida in Game 4 on Wednesday.

Impact Carolina lost Andersen's previous two starts despite him stopping 73 of 77 shots over that span. In contrast, the Hurricanes were able to provide him with decent offensive support Wednesday, but that didn't change the result. Andersen was beaten twice in the first period and surrendered a goal in each of the second and third frames. With Carolina eliminated from contention, the goaltender has finished the playoffs with a 5-3 record, 1.83 GAA and .927 save percentage in nine appearances.

Hurricanes, trailing Panthers 2-0, go back to goaltender Frederik Andersen in Game 3 Andersen started Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final and played the four-overtime game the Panthers won.

MAY 22, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Allows just one goal, but loses Andersen stopped 16 of 17 shots in a 1-0 loss to Florida in Game 3 on Monday.

Impact The only goal Andersen allowed was scored during a Panthers power play. Between him and Antti Raanta, who started in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Carolina's goaltenders have surrendered just six goals on 103 shots in this series, but the Hurricanes' forwards have gone cold. Carolina now finds itself down 3-0 with Game 4 set to be played Wednesday. It wouldn't be surprising if Andersen started in the must-win contest, especially because Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour's probable motivation for using Raanta in Game 2 was to rest Andersen after Thursday's quadruple-overtime contest. Fatigue shouldn't be a concern after the relatively light workload during Monday's outing. Andersen has a strong track record too, going 5-2 with a 1.58 GAA and a .937 save percentage in eight playoff appearances this year.

Tending twine Monday Andersen will guard the road goal in Game 3 against Florida on Monday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Andersen stopped 57 shots in last Thursday's 3-2 quadruple-overtime loss to the Panthers. He has a 5-1 record this postseason in seven starts, having surrendered just 13 goals on 204 shots. Florida has posted 3.21 goals per game during the 2023 playoffs.

Starting Game 1 Andersen will guard the home goal versus the Panthers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Andersen regained the starting job in the second round, posting a 2.01 GAA and a .918 save percentage in a 4-1 series win over the Devils. He'll now get a chance to take on the Panthers after facing them only once in the regular season, which came in the Hurricanes' last game of the campaign. He stopped 30 of 34 shots in that contest.

Falls short in 4OT game Andersen stopped 57 of 60 shots in Thursday's 3-2 quadruple-overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 1.

Impact Andersen gave up a couple of goals to the Panthers' top line in the second period. He settled in for over 100 minutes of playing time before a late turnover in the fourth overtime led to Matthew Tkachuk's game-winning tally. This was the first time Andersen's been charged with a loss this postseason, and just the third time in seven outings he's given up multiple goals. Assuming he recovers well from the marathon game, he should be back in net for Game 2 on Saturday.

Slated to face Devils Andersen is set to start at home against New Jersey in Game 5 on Thursday, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.

Impact Antti Raanta (illness) is ready to return to the lineup, but he's slated to serve as the backup Thursday. That makes sense given that Andersen has been very effective in the second round, posting a 2.09 GAA and a .914 save percentage in four outings. The Devils have averaged 2.55 goals per game in the 2023 playoffs.

Stops 27 in series-clincher Andersen stopped 27 of 29 shots to grab a series-clinching 3-2 win over the Devils on Thursday.

He responded by stopping 21 of 22 in Game 4 and 27 of 29 in Game 5. It bodes well for his ability to be resilient as the 'Canes move on to the conference finals.

Looking to bounce back Tuesday Andersen will guard the road goal in Tuesday's Game 4 versus the Devils, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact Andersen had won three straight games before he gave up four goals on 12 shots in an ugly Game 3 performance. The 33-year-old will look to bounce back Tuesday, especially with Antti Raanta (illness) still unavailable.
