Frederik Andersen News

After a slow start to the season, the Hurricanes are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and will likely turn to Andersen for his second consecutive start. In his last two games (2-0-0), Andersen has saved 50 of 54 shots (.926 SV%) and appears to be returning to form after posting a .855 SV% in his first three appearances (2-0-0). Despite their recent success, the Hurricanes are slight +100 road underdogs as they visit the 7-2-0 New York Rangers, who have outscored their opposition 17-7 during a five-game winning streak.

Andersen will be the starter for the Hurricanes on Monday as they face off against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite his perfect 3-0-0 record to start the season, Andersen has been anything but perfect with a lowly 3.38 GAA and .875 SV%. Andersen has never finished a season with a goals-against average greater than 2.96 but has plenty of time to correct his totals, starting tonight as the Hurricanes are -180 road favourites.

Andersen has not played since October 17th due to a upper-body injury but did back up Pyotr Kotchetkov on Tuesday and will start Thursday vs. Seattle. The 34-year-old veteran is undefeated at 2-0-0 despite his unimpressive .855 SV% and 4.14 GAA. He will face the Seattle Kraken Thursday, who have won two of their last three games but rank 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.29).

Despite getting the victory in each of his first two starts of the season, Andersen would have been hoping for a better start to the year following a relatively down season in 2022-23 which saw him post a .903 SV% across 34 appearances, but his performance thus far has left plenty to be desired. His perfect 2-0-0 record masks the fact that he’s surrendered eight goals on just 60 shots, good enough for a measly .867 SV% and a 3.84 GAA. The Hurricanes have one of the more capable backups in the league in Antti Raanta, and with Pyotr Kochetkov also waiting in the wings in Syracuse (AHL), Andersen will need to turn his game around fast if he wants to maintain his status as Carolina’s undisputed number one.

Andersen allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Hurricanes' win over the Senators on Wednesday. It was a strong start to the season for Andersen, who figures to have a good chance at picking up a 'W' whenever he gets the nod. Tonight he'll start in Los Angeles--he struggled against the Pacific Division last year, going 3-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .861 SV%.

Andersen battled injuries last season, as he has for several seasons now, allowing him to suit up in only 34 games (21-11-1) where he posted a 2.48 GAA and .903 SV%. The Carolina Hurricanes opted to re-sign him and Antti Raanta in the offseason, indicating that there will probably be a similar goalie rotation in the Hurricane crease this season. In two appearances this preseason (1-0-0), Andersen posted a sparkling 1.30 GAA and .946 SV%. There are several high-caliber offensive threats on the Ottawa Senators roster but the defensive structure of Rod Brind'Amour and the Hurricanes should prove challenging for any team to penetrate. As a team last season, the Hurricanes allowed an average of only 2.56 goals per game, good for second in the NHL.
