Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Hangs on for win Tuesday
Rotowire
Andersen made 21 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Jets.
Carolina took a 3-1 into the third period, and while Winnipeg struck twice in the final 20 minutes, the Jets never managed to tie it up. Andersen has won three of his last four starts and sports a 2.29 GAA and .903 save percentage since the All-Star break, and the Hurricanes' stingy defense should continue to make life fairly easy for the netminder down the stretch.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Notches shootout win in relief
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 13 of 14 shots in regulation and overtime, and four of six shootout attempts, after replacing Antti Raanta (undisclosed) to begin the second period during Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
Carolina was down 2-1 after the first frame, but Andersen played well in relief to secure his 16th win of the season. The veteran netminder is 5-3-0 since the All-Star break with a 2.08 GAA and .911 save percentage, but Raanta hasn't taken a regulation loss since Nov. 12. Unless the latter's injury proves to be serious, expect the duo to remain a timeshare down the stretch as the Hurricanes look to lock up the top spot in the Metropolitan Division.

Andersen stopped 17 of 20 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Andersen has won four of his last five outings, allowing 13 goals over that span.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Dominant since return from injury
Rotowire
Andersen made 24 saves and had an assist in a 4-1 win over Washington in the 2023 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series on Saturday.
The only puck that got past him came on a spinning shot by Tom Wilson from the bottom of the left circle at the mid-point of the third period. Andersen has beaten the Caps twice this week and allowed just three goals. Since his return from injury in January, he is 8-1-0 in 10 starts and he has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of those 10. Andersen looks every bit the fantasy star that we've come to expect from him when he's healthy. Fingers crossed he stays that way.
