Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Earns win Sunday
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over Winnipeg.
Andersen has been alternating starts with Pyotr Kochetkov, but the 35-year-old veteran is making a strong case to see action on a more regular basis. Aside from winning his last two starts, Andersen has posted a save percentage of at least .900 in four of his last five appearances. Andersen has gone 2-3-0 with a 2.24 GAA and a .908 save percentage over that five-game stretch. However, Kochetkov has been almost just as good, going 4-1-0 with a 2.40 GAA and a .904 save percentage over his previous five appearances.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Earns win in low-scoring affair
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 24 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Andersen was outstanding in this win and did everything in his power to lift the Hurricanes to victory in a low-scoring matchup. Numbers aside, this was a much-needed bounce-back performance for Andersen, who had lost each of his previous four starts. This was the first win since Jan. 28 for the 35-year-old veteran, but Pyotr Kochetkov should get the nod versus the Bruins on Thursday as the Hurricanes stick with their timeshare between the pipes.
Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Slated to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Andersen is expected to patrol the road blue paint against the Red Wings on Tuesday.
Andersen has lost four straight decisions but was given only four total goals of support in those contests. The Danish netminder has been excellent across 13 appearances against Detroit in his career, owning an 11-1-1 record, .924 save percentage and 2.22 GAA. The Red Wings sit 19th in the NHL with 2.88 goals per game in 2024-25 and are 2-3-1 in their last six games.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Losing streak grows to four
Rotowire
Andersen allowed two goals while making 28 saves in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers.
Andersen gave up one goal in each of the first two periods before Edmonton sealed the win with an empty-netter after Andersen left the ice. The 35-year-old is currently on a four-game losing streak, during which he has surrendered 12 goals. Overall, Andersen has a 6-5-0 record with a 2.29 GAA and a .907 save percentage. For the time being, it is best to proceed with caution when playing Andersen in fantasy even though he holds decent value behind a strong Hurricanes defense. Carolina remains in a playoff spot in the Metropolitan, and Andersen will likely continue to alternate with Pyotr Kochetkov in net.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Gets no help Tuesday
Rotowire
Andersen turned aside 14 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Canadiens.
While his final numbers looked rough, Andersen had little chance on any of the pucks that got past him, as Montreal scored on two deflected point shots in the first period and then on power plays in the second and third. The 35-year-old netminder has lost three straight starts, and since getting back into the crease in late January after recovering from knee surgery, Andersen has gone 3-3-0 with a 2.88 GAA and .876 save percentage.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Falls to Wild
Rotowire
Andersen gave up just two goals on 24 shots but came up short in a 2-1 loss to Minnesota on Thursday.
Andersen put together one of his best performances of the season in Thursday's contest but was let down by a lack of offensive support. With the Hurricanes rotating netminders since Andersen's return from a long-term knee injury, it will likely be Pyotr Kochetkov between the pipes at home versus Utah on Saturday, which means Andersen is unlikely to play again until after the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Andersen will protect the road goal versus the Wild on Thursday.
Andersen will take his turn in the goalie rotation. He has gone 3-1-0 over his last four outings, though he has allowed at least three goals in three of those games. The Wild are without Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) and have been shut out in their last two games, making this a somewhat favorable matchup.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Poor showing in loss
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 22 of 26 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
Andersen took his first loss in four starts since he returned from a long-term knee injury. The 35-year-old netminder had no answers for the Kings' middle-six in this contest, though the Hurricanes have been battling an illness in the locker room that may have impacted some players' performances. Andersen is now 6-2-0 with a 2.12 GAA and a .913 save percentage over eight starts this season. He's in an even rotation with Pyotr Kochetkov -- if it holds, Andersen's last start before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off would be Thursday in Minnesota.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Blanks Blueshirts
Rotowire
Andersen made 22 saves in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
The shutout was the first of the season for the 35-year-old netminder, and he also recorded his third straight win since returning from knee surgery. Andersen has moved right back into a timeshare with Pyotr Kochetkov in the Carolina crease, and that arrangement figures to hold as long as both goalies remain healthy.

Andersen will guard the road cage against the Rangers on Tuesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Rotowire
Andersen made 18 saves in a 7-4 win over Columbus on Thursday.
It was his 300th NHL win. He is 300-128-52, including 74-28-4 with Carolina. Andersen is the second-fastest in league history to 300 NHL wins (501 games) behind Andrei Vasilevskiy (490).

Rotowire
Andersen stopped 22 of 25 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Making his first start since Oct. 26 after undergoing knee surgery Nov. 22 and being activated off injured reserve Friday, Andersen looked good between the pipes and managed to secure the victory thanks to Sebastian Aho's game-winner in overtime. Andersen should eventually return to the starting role for the Hurricanes, and even though a five-game sample size isn't big enough, the numbers are promising.
