Andersen will start Game 6 on Thursday vs. New York.

Andersen stopped 21 of 22 shots (.952 SV%) as he held Carolina off from elimination for a second-straight victory in Game 5 and is unsurprisingly expected to start Game 6 on Thursday. The 34-year-old has had an up-and-down playoff after being nearly unbeatable in his 16 regular season appearances with his 6-3-0 record, 2.46 GAA and .902 SV% in 9 starts so far. He will attempt to fend off New York for a third-straight elimination game as Carolin hosts the Rangers for Game 6 in Raleigh on Thursday.
