Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (lower body) is set to have knee surgery and will miss 8-12 weeks. He will undergo the procedure on Friday. Carolina has already been without Andersen for a while, with his last appearance coming on Oct. 26. Andersen started the season in fine form, going 3-1-0 while allowing only six goals across four starts with a .941 save percentage. Pyotr Kochetkov has done a remarkable job filling in for Andersen, picking up his 10th win in 12 starts on Wednesday versus Philadelphia. Spencer Martin is working as Kotchetkov's backup during Andersen's absence.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (lower body) will be out week-to-week, head coach Rod Brind'Amour announced Thursday. Andersen will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday versus Boston. The Danish veteran has gone 3-1-0 in four starts this season, allowing 1.49 goals with a .941 save percentage. Pyotr Kochetkov will carry most of the workload until Andersen is ready to return. He also owns a 3-1-0 record for the year but has weaker numbers in other areas. The 25-year-old has given up 2.77 goals with a .894 save percentage.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (lower body) will miss Monday's contest against Vancouver. He was hurt in Saturday's 4-1 triumph over Seattle. Andersen collected his third consecutive win at the weekend, improving to 3-1-0 for the year. He has allowed 1.49 goals with a .941 save percentage. The team will go with Pyotr Kochetkov between the sticks on Monday, with Spencer Martin, who was summoned from the AHL, working as his backup. Kochetkov boasts a decent 2-1-0 record with a 2.70 goals-against average but has registered a lowly .896 save percentage this season. It could be a struggle for him against a team that averages 3.43 goals per game.
Frederik Andersen Earns First Victory Of The Season
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen stopped 25 of the 26 shots he faced en route to earning his first victory of the 2024 season. Andersen fell behind early after allowing the first goal of the game to Pittsburgh left wing Drew O'Connor. However, during the final two periods, the 35-year-old was able to shut the door to secure the victory. In his first start of the season, the veteran allowed two goals on 21 shots in a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Andersen played in only 16 games last season but held a strong .932 SV% and 1.84 GAA with a 13-2 record. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran to split time in the crease with Pyotr Kochetkov but remain a valuable fantasy asset given the strong Carolina defense.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen is projected to get the nod for Monday's Game 5 against the Rangers. After opening the series with two defeats, Andersen was taken out of the firing line in Game 3, but he made a winning return to the crease at the weekend in Game 4 and appears ready for another battle. The Danish netminder carries a 5-3 record in these playoffs with a 2.63 goals-against average and a .897 save percentage. His numbers have dropped to 3.67 and .874 in the series against the Rangers.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen returned to winning ways on Saturday against the Rangers, helping the team stave off elimination in a 4-3 win. Returning to the crease after sitting out Game 3 of the second-round series, Andersen stopped 22 of 25 shots. He gave away a bad goal at the start of the third period, which allowed Alexis Lafreniere to tie the game at three, but Andersen was bailed out by a late Brady Skjei game-winner on the power play. Carolina faces another elimination game on Monday, with Andersen carrying a 5-3 record for the 2024 postseason ahead of the action. He has given up 2.63 goals with a .897 save percentage.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen continued his perfect start to the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 29-save effort in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Islanders. He became only the second goaltender in franchise history to open a postseason campaign with three consecutive victories. Andersen has saved 71 of 77 shots in total in the series, frustrating the Islanders with a .922 save percentage and a 2.01 goals-against average. Combined with the regular season, Andersen is now 16-2-0 in 2023-24. He will look to lead the team to a sweep in Game 4 on Saturday.
Frederik Andersen Shuts Out Columbus In Sunday's Win
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen posted his second shutout in three starts on Sunday as the team took down the Blue Jackets 3-0. Andersen stopped 23 pucks in the contest to improve to 12-2-0 for the season. He missed a large chunk of the campaign due to a blood-clotting issue, but Andersen has been outstanding when healthy. He's given up more than two goals only once in his last 13 appearances and boasts a 1.83 goals-against average for the season with three shutouts and a .931 save percentage. Carolina alternates its goalies, meaning we should see Andersen next on Friday in another favorable matchup against St. Louis.
Frederik Andersen Continues Winning Streak With Second Shutout
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen bagged a seventh consecutive victory on Thursday with a 24-save shutout against Detroit in a 4-0 win. Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis led the way at the other end with three-point efforts in the second period. Andersen has looked incredible for the Hurricanes this month, winning all of his seven starts while allowing 1.15 goals with a .957 save percentage. He has improved to 11-1-0 for the year and now boasts two shutouts with a 1.88 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. The Denmark native is giving Carolina world-class goaltending, and the team looks primed for a strong finish to the regular season and a deep playoff run with Andersen in the crease.
Frederik Andersen Shuts Out Panthers With 21 Saves
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen collected his first shutout of the season on Thursday in a 4-0 win over Florida. Andersen stopped one of the league's hottest teams from scoring with 21 saves. This was only the third start for Andersen since his return from a blood clotting problem. He's won all three contests, putting together spectacular numbers. Andersen has stopped 63 shots from 66 in the three starts for a .955 save percentage, and his goals-against average stands at 1.01. The Danish netminder has gone 7-1-0 for the entire campaign, and considering his recent form, more success is on the horizon for Andersen, with Pyotr Kochetkov sharing the goaltending duties with him.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (blood clots) was taken off injured reserve on Thursday. Andersen has been dealing with blood clots since November, but after practicing for several weeks he is ready to return to action. His return complicates things for fantasy managers, as he is likely to be eased into action and could split work with Pyotr Kochetkov. It will be hard to determine which of the two will get more starts, which could make for a frustrating situation. Both should be rostered for now, as Carolina is a top-tier defensive team and both goalies will have a good chance at grabbing a win whenever they start. To make room for Andersen, Antti Raanta was placed on waivers.
Frederik Andersen Could Be Back In Action Next Week
Carolina 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.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (blood clots) is set to resume on-ice activities. He will begin with on-ice conditioning as he works his way back to re-joining the team. The veteran hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 2 against the New York Rangers and has appeared in just six games overall this season, posting a 2.87 goals-against average and an .894 save percentage, going 4-1-0 on the season. The Hurricanes have struggled to get consistent goaltending this season as their .901 Sv% at five-on-five ranks 30th in the league, ahead of only the Devils and Senators. Nonetheless, Carolina enters the All-Star break second in the Metropolitan Division with a 28-15-5 record, just two points behind the division-leading Rangers with one game in hand.
Frederik Andersen Out Indefinitely With Blood Clots
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederick Andersen is out indefinitely with blood clotting issues but is expected to make a full recovery, according to general manager Don Waddell. Veteran goaltender Jaroslav Halak has been signed to a free agent tryout to help replace the 34-year-old Andersen between the pipes for Carolina. Andersen has battled a variety of injuries over the last several seasons after logging at least 60 appearances for three straight seasons from 2016-17 through the 2018-19 campaign. He has turned in a 2.87 goals-against average and an .894 save percentage across six games this season after working to a 2.48 GAA and .903 Sv% across just 34 games last season. His lengthy injury history continues to put a cap on his fantasy value.
Frederik Andersen Under Evaluation For "Medical Issue"
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen is dealing with a medical issue and is undergoing evaluations, the team announced on Monday. The Hurricanes added that veteran goaltender Jaroslav Halak has joined the team on a free-agent tryout. Andersen has made six starts for Carolina this season, going 4-1-0 with a 2.87 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage. Antti Raanta, who is 3-1-0 for the year, should get the bulk of the action until Andersen is ready to play again.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (upper body) could be ready to return to action Tuesday against Tampa Bay after practicing on Monday. Andersen has been out of the lineup for two games after leaving last Tuesday's 6-3 win over San Jose early. He logged only a handful of minutes in the match and left after a shot hit his mask. Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov shared starts in Andersen's absence, and both got lit up, with Carolina losing 7-4 to Seattle and 6-4 to Colorado. Andersen's form wasn't great in the first two games either, as he coughed up seven goals and registered a .855 save percentage, but the Danish netminder was victorious in both contests.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (upper body) will miss a second straight game Saturday versus the Avalanche. He took a shot to the mask in Tuesday's matchup against San Jose, which forced him to exit the game after logging just 5:27 of ice time, and Andersen was kept out from Thursday's meeting with Seattle. The team has called his absence precautionary, but it's a little worrying that Andersen ends up missing multiple games. Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov are Carolina's options between the pipes for Saturday night. Neither goalie has played well early in the season, and fantasy managers should have better options available to them.
Frederik Andersen Likely In Goal For Game 5 Versus Devils
Carolina Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen will guard the cage in Game 5 against New Jersey Thursday. In Game 4, Carolina dominated the Devils with a convincing 6-1 victory, giving them a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Andersen was outstanding, making 21 saves out of 22 shots for the win. The 33-year-old veteran has delivered, holding a flawless 4-0-0 record, a stellar 1.80 goals-against-average, and a solid .930 save percentage.
Frederik Andersen Has Bounce-Back Performance In Game 4 Victory
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen stopped 21-of-22 shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-1 victory against the Devils in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference second-round series. Andersen responded well in the victory and finished with another game of only one goal allowed, following his first poor start of the playoffs in the Game 3 loss. Andersen has limited the Devils to only one goal in each of the three victories in the series, and the Hurricanes are one win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 2019.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will start Tuesday's Game 4 against the Devils. The team is keeping faith in Andersen despite his horrible performance in Game 3, where Andersen lasted less than 21 minutes and coughed up four goals on 12 shots. Carolina will be hoping that it was only a blip. Andersen enjoyed a very strong start to the postseason and allowed only three goals in total in his first three playoff appearances of the year. Antti Raanta (illness) started the postseason for Carolina, but an illness has taken him out of the lineup and he won't be available on Tuesday either. Pyotr Kochetkov will deputize for Andersen.
