• Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Undergoing knee surgery Friday

  11/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Andersen will undergo knee surgery Friday and is expected to miss 8-12 weeks. Andersen has been out of action since Oct. 26, when he was injured in Seattle. His return timetable should get him back in action, barring any setbacks, at some point between late January and late February. The good news is that the NHL will take a two-week break in early February, so the Hurricanes will not have to rush Andersen back. The 35-year-old was 3-1-0 with a 1.49 GAA and a .941 save percentage over four appearances prior to the injury. Look for Pyotr Kochetkov to be the No. 1 goaltender in Carolina, with Spencer Martin as his backup, until Andersen returns.

  Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that Andersen (lower body) is out indefinitely, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports. Andersen was injured Oct. 26 in Seattle and was labeled as week-to-week at the time. However, Brind'Amour stated Friday that Andersen would be out "way longer" than the previous prognosis. Andersen was off to a great start, going 3-1-0 with a 1.49 GAA and a .941 save percentage in four appearances.

  Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that Andersen (lower body) is considered week-to-week, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal. Andersen was injured Saturday in Seattle, and while it was thought that the injury wasn't serious, it turns out that the netminder will be forced to miss some time. Pyotr Kochetkov takes over as the No. 1 goaltender in the interim, while Spencer Martin will be his backup. Andersen is 3-1-1 with a sizzling 1.49 GAA and an impressive .940 save percentage in four appearances this season.

• Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Expected back in short-term

  10/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Andersen (lower body) is still being evaluated by coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters he was "under the impression that it shouldn't be too serious," per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site on Wednesday. Even with a somewhat positive update, Andersen should probably be expected to miss out versus the Bruins on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. The veteran backstop had been playing every other game to open the season while splitting the crease with Pyotr Kochetkov, which would have meant Andersen got the nod Thursday. Instead, it looks like Kochetkov could go in consecutive games for the first time this year.

He is day-to-day for now, and the Hurricanes will evaluate him further once the team returns to Raleigh. Spencer Martin was recalled from AHL Chicago on Monday to be Pyotr Kochetkov's backup versus the Canucks.
