Frederik Andersen - NHL News & Rumors

Battled puck all night in loss Andersen made 19 saves in a 5-1 loss to Toronto on Thursday.

Impact The first couple goals were purely bad luck. The first went off the post, hit Andersen and trickled over the line. The second hit the back glass and the puck bounced into the slot where a Leaf player drilled it past the stunned netminder. Andersen allowed four goals. He has really struggled over the last month. His last regulation win was Nov. 8, and he's 1-4-2 in seven starts. Andersen has allowed 23 goals in that span.

Starting against Toronto Andersen will defend the home crease against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Andersen has been in a skid across the past few weeks, as he's gone 0-3-2 with a 3.26 GAA and .849 save percentage over his last five starts. He didn't appear in either of Carolina's last two games but will return to the crease for Thursday's home matchup. The Maple Leafs have had a proficient offense this year, scoring 3.42 goals per game, which is the fifth-highest mark in the NHL.

Losing streak continues Wednesday Andersen stopped 14 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact While the Rangers didn't get a lot of chances, the ones they did get came in high-danger areas, and Andersen couldn't come up with a big save to shift the momentum when his team needed one. The veteran netminder has gone five straight starts without a win, stumbling to an 0-3-2 record with a 3.26 GAA and .849 save percentage during that swoon, but with Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) potentially set to miss some time, Andersen could be leaned on heavily in the short term by the Hurricanes.

Guarding cage versus Rangers Andersen will tend the twine at home versus the Rangers on Wednesday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Andersen is mired in a four-game losing streak, allowing 13 goals on 89 shots (.854 save percentage) in that span. He's alternated starts during that stretch, but Andersen looks to be in line for a larger workload in the absence of Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body). The Rangers have scored just 12 goals over their last six games, going 2-4-0 in that span, so this could be a good chance for Andersen to get on track.

Struggles against low volume Andersen stopped 17 of 20 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Andersen allowed three goals across the first two periods, including two even-strength goals in the second, before the Sabres scored an empty netter in the third. With the loss, the 36-year-old netminder has a 5-4-2 record with a 3.07 GAA and an .883 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Andersen has picked up the loss in each of his past four appearances, while Pyotr Kochetkov is 4-0-0 since his return from injury early in November. Even Carolina's third-string goaltender Brandon Bussi has won each of his last three starts behind the Hurricanes' offense that has 3.62 goals per game this season, which ranks second in the NHL. Andersen should have better days ahead of him, but until he can clean up his overall play, stronger internal and external options in fantasy can provide interim value.

Falls short in shootout Andersen allowed three goals on 18 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.

Impact Andersen never received a lead to protect in this contest despite facing significantly less traffic than Jesper Wallstedt in the other crease. The 36-year-old Andersen has gone 0-1-2 with 10 goals allowed on 68 shots over his last three outings. He dropped to 5-4-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .883 save percentage in 11 starts overall. If he continues to struggle, Pyotr Kochetkov may start to receive more playing time, and Brandon Bussi is also in the mix. The Hurricanes' road trip continues in Winnipeg on Friday.

Falls to Oil in OT Andersen made 19 saves in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Impact Carolina out-shot the visitors 36-23 on the night, but Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl took eight of those shots, and that proved to be the difference as the superstar duo scored three times. Andersen has only one win in his last five starts, going 1-3-1 with a 3.49 GAA and .869 save percentage, and it may not be long before Pyotr Kochetkov begins seeing a greater share of the workload in the Hurricanes' crease.

Set to face Edmonton Andersen (concussion) is expected to start at home against Edmonton on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Andersen didn't dress in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Vancouver after being pulled from Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Washington by the concussion spotter. The 36-year-old netminder has a 5-4-0 record, 3.00 GAA and .892 save percentage in nine outings this year. Edmonton has been a mixed bag with an 8-7-4 record and 3.05 goals per game, but Zach Hyman (wrist) is set to make his season debut Saturday.

Not dressing Friday Andersen (concussion) will not suit up for Friday's game versus the Canucks, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Andersen was injured late in Tuesday's contest versus the Capitals and will be held out for at least one full game. The 36-year-old netminder's lengthy injury history will force the Hurricanes to be cautious with Andersen's recovering. Pyotr Kochetkov will start Friday and will likely see most of the playing time in Andersen's absence, while Brandon Bussi will fill the backup role.

Exits contest late in third period Andersen exited Tuesday's game versus the Capitals in the third period due to an undisclosed injury, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Andersen allowed three goals on 27 shots prior to sustaining the injury. Pyotr Kochetkov took over in goal. Given Andersen's lengthy injury history, expect the Hurricanes to exercise caution, especially since they also have Brandon Bussi on the NHL roster as a third goalie.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start at home Andersen will be between the home pipes Tuesday versus the Capitals, per Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Andersen hasn't been at the top of his game lately, registering a 2-3-0 record, 3.39 GAA and .889 save percentage across his last five appearances. The Capitals have lost back-to-back contests and six of their last seven, so this could be a favorable matchup for Andersen. Washington also ranks 22nd in the NHL with 2.80 goals per game in 2025-26.

Eeks out win over Wild men Andersen made 20 saves in a 4-3 win over Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact Andersen sits with a 5-3-0 record, 2.97 GAA and .892 save percentage in eight starts. He recovered from a weak start Thursday to stone two Canes in tight in the last 10-15 seconds of the second frame that kept his team in the game. Anderson sits 2-3-0 with 17 goals allowed in his last five starts. He's an imperfect option at this point in his career; be ready to shuffle fast when, not if, he gets hurt.

Drawing start against Minnesota Andersen will defend the home crease against the Wild on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Andersen has largely struggled over his last four starts, going 1-3-0 with a 3.49 GAA and .891 save percentage during that time. He'll have a favorable matchup against the Wild, who are scoring 2.79 goals per game this season, which is tied for the 10th-worst mark in the league.

Third loss in last four starts Andersen made 20 saves in a 2-1 loss Saturday to Boston.

Impact The game was scoreless until the third period, and Andersen wasn't exactly to blame for either goal against him. His defense got a little too aggressive and then got caught up ice, and the Bruins capitalized. Andersen has lost three of his last four games after starting the season on a three-win run. He has allowed 14 goals in his last four, and he has a 2.96 GAA and .894 save percentage overall.
