Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Falls short in qualifier
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 28 of 31 shots on net in Denmark's 3-2 loss to Czechia in Olympic qualification round play Tuesday.
Despite keeping Denmark's net tidy in the first and third periods, Andersen allowed three goals in the second period, which would ultimately be enough for Czechia to advance to the quarterfinals. The 36-year-old netminer finished the Olympics with a 1-2-0 record, a .913 save percentage and a 2.75 GAA across three appearances. The numbers he posted were a step up from his current stats with the Carolina Hurricanes, which could give the veteran netminder a morale boost headed into the last stretch of the NHL regular season.

Rotowire
Andersen will be between the pipes for Denmark versus Czechia on Tuesday in the qualifying round of the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Andersen went 1-0-0-1 with a 2.58 GAA and a .918 save percentage across two starts in the preliminary round. Czechia finished with four points (1-0-1-1) and placed third in Group A during round-robin play. Martin Necas, Tomas Hertl and David Pastrnak started on the top line to begin the tournament for the Czechs, but the team has since split that trio up, spreading the talent throughout the lineup. The winner of Tuesday's game will face Canada on Wednesday in the quarterfinals.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Struggles late in OT loss
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 38 of 42 shots on net in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Andersen soared through the first 27 minutes of regulation against a high volume of shots before he allowed four consecutive goals, including the OT-winner to Washington's Justin Sourdif. With the loss, Andersen now holds a 7-10-5, a 3.26 GAA and an .871 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. While the 36-year-old netminder has seen a mixed bag of results in January, he hasn't lost in regulation since Jan. 3, earning the Hurricanes at least one point in each of his last five starts. The veteran netminder is becoming a more stable option in net for the Canes, which should lead to him seeing a solid chunk of starts down the stretch behind Brandon Bussi. While rostering Andersen in fantasy comes with risk, his track record and recent outings give him viable fantasy value in two-goalie formats.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Posts strong outing Saturday
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 29 of 30 shots on net in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
Andersen posted one of his best outings of the season Saturday, as he picked up his second win with 25-plus saves. Overall, the 36-year-old netminder has a 7-10-3 record with a 3.26 GAA and an .869 save percentage through 20 appearances this year. While Saturday's victory was just his second since Nov. 6, the winning performance against high volume was an encouraging outing. He remains a tough option to trust in fantasy, but Carolina's strong defensive system in front of him makes Andersen a viable streamer. His next chance to take the ice is Monday against the Sabres.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Falls to Wings in OT
Rotowire
Andersen made 14 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit.
Carolina did its usual good job of limiting chances by the opposition, but Andersen still allowed three goals on only 13 shots through the first two periods before the Hurricanes mounted a frantic rally in the third just to force OT. The veteran netminder has struggled in five starts since Pyotr Kochetkov (hip) landed on IR in late December, going 1-3-1 with a 3.99 GAA and ghastly .826 save percentage over that stretch.

Carolina outshot the visitors 35-13 on the night, and Andersen shut the door completely in the second half of the game.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (hip) on the shelf, Andersen is seeing regular action again, but he remains behind Brandon Bussi on the depth chart.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Another meltdown in third period
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Andersen and the Hurricanes were ahead 3-1 after two periods, but that lead was gone less than two minutes into the final frame. The Avalanche kept going, with a second Brock Nelson power-play tally deciding the game at 7:30 of the third period. This was Andersen's ninth loss in a row. He's allowed at least three goals in all of them, and he's lost his last six starts in regulation time. He drops to 5-10-2 with a 3.43 GAA and an .867 save percentage over 17 starts this season. Andersen will share the crease with Brandon Bussi, though both goalies have struggled with the Hurricanes' third-period lapses lately. The team won't have much time to dwell on this loss, as the Hurricanes visit the Devils on Sunday.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Allows five goals Tuesday
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 23 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.
Andersen hasn't won a game since Nov. 6 and has dropped his last eight starts, going 0-6-2 with a 3.81 GAA and a subpar .832 save percentage over that stretch. What's even more worrying is the fact that Andersen has given up five goals in each of his last two outings. As if his backup role wasn't enough reason to avoid him in most formats, Andersen hasn't performed well on an individual level to even gain upside as a streaming option in deep formats.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Slated to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Andersen is expected to make the road start versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Andersen will see his workload increase now that Pyotr Kochetkov (hip) is expected to miss the rest of the season. This will be Andersen's third appearance in December, and until his play gets on track, Brandon Bussi is likely to handle a majority of the workload. Andersen is 0-5-2 with an .834 save percentage over his last seven outings. The Penguins have 17 goals over their last six games, though they've been shut out twice in that span.
