Andersen allowed one goal on 27 shots in his first career NHL start. The Ducks have rewarded that strong performance by starting him today vs. Columbus, which makes him a great spot start candidate.
Andersen gets an extension before he even makes his first career start - which comes tonight.
Anderson stopped all 24 shots he faced in a relief effete on Sunday. Tonight he will make his first NHL start when the Ducks take on the Senators. It is a decent matchup, but it would be a risky spot start.

This is a terrible break for the Oilers who's lineup has been depleted by injuries all month. Coming into the season Hall looked poised for another great season, but concerns about injury always loom near with the 21-year-old. Expect Nail Yakupov to take on an expanded role as he looks to fill in for Hall and get back into coach Dallas Eakins good graces.
Hall will not play tomorrow in Montreal. Monitor his status later today and tomorrow to see how severe this knee injury is.
The Oilers and Hall owners are hoping that an MRI in Edmonton reveals no structural damage to his injured knee. Leaving the team on the road trip isn't exactly a good sign, but we'll have to wait and see what the MRI reveals.
Good news as Hall did not return to the game in the second period. Stay tuned to see if Hall will be forced to miss any time.
Viktor Fasth is day-to-day, so Anderson will simply serve as a backup - he has no fantasy value.
The Hall centre experiment is over with the return of Nugent-Hopkins. Hall has shifted back to his natural position of LW with RNH and Eberle. Hall has one assist but is a minus-5 in two games so far.
Andersen, 23 (10/2/89), appeared in 47 games for Norfolk this season, going 24-18-1 with a 2.19 goals-against average (GAA) and .929 save percentage (SV%). Selected in the third round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, the Herning, Denmark native ranked sixth among AHL goaltenders in GAA (third among rookies), second in SV% (first among rookies), tied for ninth in wins (second among rookies) and tied for 11th in shutouts (tied for third among rookies).
Fast posted 18 goals and 17 assists in 47 games as a member of HV71 Jonkoping of the SEL this season.
Get him back in your lineup
Hall will not play today so get him out of your lineups if it isn't too late. He isn't expected to be out long-term, the Oilers just don't want to force him into action when he isn't at 100%.
The Wild and Oilers play late on Sunday so you may want to cautiously sit Hall unless word on his status comes out before the first games. At the very least, it looks as if Hall will only be day-to-day instead of going on IR.
Keep Hall on your bench for 2 games.
Despite the steep price, Staal is reunited with his brother and could be poised for a breakout season at only 24 years old.
Drop Hall in all single-season formats.
Sounds like the Oilers are still playing it safe with Hall. The former first overall pick scored 27 goals and 53 points in 61 games.
Hall won't play again despite travelling with the team. The former first overall pick scored 27 goals and 53 points in 61 games.
