Andersen is set to make his first appearance since October 26th after missing just under three months with a knee injury. It's just the fifth start of the season for the 35-year-old netminder. Andersen was off to a fantastic start before suffering the knee injury, posting a 3-1-0 record and a .941 SV%. He's got a great chance of picking up right where he left off on Monday as the Hurricanes enter action at -330 on the money line.
Andersen has been activated from Injured Reserve nine weeks into his initial 8-to-12 week timetable following a procedure on his knee. Dustin Tokarski has been assigned to the Chicago Wolves (AHL) in a corresponding move. The 35-year-old Andersen only played four games before his injury (3-1-0) but was solid in this outings, posting a 1.48 GAA and .941 SV%.
Frederik Andersen (knee) returned to the ice last Wednesday, his first time skating since undergoing knee surgery on November 22nd. He’s about seven weeks into an 8-to-12-week timetable, indicating that his recovery is still on schedule.

Originally expected to be a minor injury, the Hurricanes have revealed that Andersen will be sidelined for approximately 8-12 weeks after undergoing a procedure on his knee. Pyotr Kochetkov has filled in admirably in Andersen's absence and should continue to do so with Spencer Martin as his backup.
Originally expected to be a minor injury, Hurricanes' head coach Rod Brind'Amour revealed on Friday that Andersen will be out of the lineup for the foreseeable future. Adding insult to injury for the Hurricanes, Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) suffered an injury on Wednesday and might be unable to suit up on Saturday. Expect Spencer Martin to control the Hurricanes' crease during this uncertain time between the pipes for the Hurricanes.
After being re-evaluated, the Hurricanes received bad news regarding Andersen's lower-body injury, downgrading his initial day-to-status to week-to-week. The only positive news regarding Andersen's injury is that it is not related to the blood clotting issues that caused him to miss most of the 2023-24 season. The 35-year-old netminder has a 1.48 GAA and .941 SV% through four outings this season (3-1-0). Expect Pytor Kochetkov to control the Hurricanes' crease in Andersen's absence.
The Hurricanes recalled Spencer Martin from the Chicago Wolves (AHL) because of Andersen's injury, which is not expected to keep him out of the lineup long-term. Andersen is considered day-to-day and his injury is not related to the blood clotting issue that kept him out of the lineup for several months last season. The 35-year-old netminder has a 1.48 GAA and .941 SV% through four outings this season (3-1-0).
For the third time in five games to start the 2024-25 season, Andersen will occupy the crease for the Hurricanes. The 35-year-old Andersen is off to another strong campaign, boasting a stellar 1.53 GAA and .936 SV% in his two outings (1-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as +110 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers club that has underperformed to start the season, being outscored 12-24 in six games (2-4-0).
A sparse schedule and a weather postponement have resulted in the Hurricanes playing the fewest games in the league thus far, only twice in the first two weeks of the season, but will turn to Andersen in the crease for their third game on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Andersen has not played in seven days since saving 19 of 21 shots (.905 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Andersen will likely see a steady split in playing time with Pyotr Kochetkov throughout the season unless one can run away with the starting job. The Hurricanes enter action on Friday as -161 road favorites against the Penguins.

Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour was noncommittal about who would be manning Carolina's crease for their season opener on Friday, but it's no surprise to see Andersen get the call. Though he was limited by injuries last season, Andersen was spectacular when he was available. The 35-year-old netminder posted a .932 SV% and a 1.84 GAA to go along with a 13-2-0 record across 16 appearances. Andersen and the Hurricanes enter Friday night as -150 favourites over the Lightning.
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.

The Hurricanes will turn back to Frederik Andersen after giving the crease to Pyotr Kochetkov in their Game 3 loss. The 34-year-old Andersen has struggled in the postseason after missing a large chunk of the regular season due to blood clots, with his 4-3-0 record, 2.58 GAA and .899 SV%. He will look to keep Carolina's season alive at home on Saturday vs. New York, who has won seven consecutive playoff games.
Andersen allowed four goals on 23 shots (.826 SV%) as he struggled in Carolina's opening game loss vs. New York on Sunday but will have a chance for redemption as he takes the crease on Tuesday. The 34-year-old has been up and down so far in the playoffs, with his 4-2-0 record, 2.54 GAA and .899 SV% through six games played. He takes on the New York Rangers on the road Tuesday, who are looking to take a 2-0 series lead after their 4-3 victory last game.
