ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Anaheim Ducks
have reassigned goalie Frederik Andersen to their AHL affiliate despite
his 6-1 start to his NHL career.
The NHL-leading Ducks also assigned
defenseman Sami Vatanen to Norfolk on Thursday while recalling center
Peter Holland and goalie Viktor Fasth.
Andersen is the first NHL goalie to win
the first six decisions of his career since Damian Rhodes did it for
Toronto in the early 1990s. The Danish goalie had a 1.66 goals-against
average with a .943 save percentage while backing up Jonas Hiller.
Fasth hasn't played since Oct. 16 with a lower-body injury. He began the season 2-1 with a 3.33 GAA.
Vatanen has five points in 17 games for the Ducks.
Holland returns to the Ducks after scoring one goal in four games earlier this season.
