Andersen gets the start Tuesday vs. the Flames.

Andersen was pulled after allowing four goals on 15 shots in the Ducks loss to the Panthers on Sunday. Andersen has lost his last five games while posting a 2.94 GAA and .893 SV%, but will get a chance to bounce back tonight vs. the Flames. He is 4-0-1 in five away starts.

Andersen stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Ducks shootout loss to the Canucks on Sunday. Andersen continues to dazzle in the Ducks goal and with John Gibson sidelined for the next month or so, he will get a ton of starts. He will make his third consecutive tonight at home vs. the Kings—he is 3-1-2 with a 1.46 GAA and .949 SV% at home.

Andersen allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Ducks 3-2 shootout loss to the Coyotes on Friday. It was just Andersen’s second loss of the season, but it was another steady outing for the 25-year-old. He will take on the Canucks at home, where he is 3-1-1 with a 1.58 GAA and .943 SV%.

Andersen wil be back in the Ducks goal tonight.

Andersen allowed a single goal on 22 shots in the Ducks win over the Stars last Friday. Andersen missed the last two games with leg tightness, but will be back between the pipes tonight vs. Arizona. He is a must-start vs. a struggling Coyotes team at home where he is 3-1-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .948 SV%.

Andersen will be a game-time decision tonight.

Andersen missed Sunday’s game with ‘minor leg tightness’ but was on the ice for the game day skate this afternoon. He was the first on off of the ice and told the media after practice that his leg feels good but he “needs to see how I feel before tonight’s game”. So if Andersen’s leg is OK, he is your starter, if not, it will be Jason LaBarbera.

Andersen was the first goalie off of the ice for the Ducks.

Andersen was unavailable on Sunday because of minor leg tightness, but he was back on the ice this morning for the game day skate. While he was the first one off, Jason LaBarbera followed him about a minute later. This suggests that Andersen will get the call if his leg is good to go, but they did not want to keep LaBarbera on for extra work incase Andresen is unable to go. Stay tuned.

Andersen is day-to-day with minor leg tightness.

Andersen did not suit up for Sunday's game due to leg tightness, but he was on the ice with the Ducks this afternoon. The Ducks recalled Igor Bobkov and have Jason LaBarbera still on the team so that suggests that Andersen might not be ready to play on Wednesday vs. the Islanders. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.

Andersen stopped 21 of 22 shots in the Ducks 2-1 OT win over the Stars on Friday. He improved to 7-1-0 with a 1.60 GAA and .941 SV% on the season. John Gibson has played well since being recalled, but it looks like the Ducks are set to roll with Andersen as their number-1.

Andersen allowed four goals on 37 shots in a loss to the Sharks on Sunday. It was Andersen's first loss of the year---he now holds a 6-1-0 record with a 1.70 GAA and .940 SV% in seven outings. He draws a fairly tough matchup vs. a hot Stars top-line. However, he has proved he needs to be started right now.
