Frederik Andersen
G - Carolina Hurricanes
Next Game
Eligibility
Availability
Frederik Andersen was solid in net for the Hurricanes Friday night, stopping 19 of 21 shots faced in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
Fantasy Impact
Andersen's solid performance was overshadowed by a Carolina squad that had no answers for solving Tampa Bay netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy. Fantasy managers will hope the 35-year-old has put the numerous injuries that have plagued the goaltender for several seasons behind him.
Frederik Andersen was strong in the crease for the Hurricanes Thursday night, stopping 24 of 25 shots faced in a 4-1 win over the Canadiens.
Fantasy Impact
Andersen made the most guarding the net for the first time since November 2 for the Hurricanes, posting a .960 save percentage in a winning effort. The veteran netminder will look to fortify Carolina's inconsistent goaltending to this point, posting a 2.57 GAA and .904 save percentage in seven appearances (5-1-0) between the pipes so far this season.
Frederik Andersen allowed four goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact
Andersen finishes the year as a top-ten goaltender in all formats, with a final slash line record of 21-11-1 with a 2.48 GAA and a .903 SV%. Andersen should be a solid option for any playoff pools or DFS slates and will need to play to his abilities if the Canes are hoping for a deep postseason run.
Frederik Andersen allowed three goals on 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
Fantasy Impact
While this was not the end result Andersen would have wanted, he is wrapping up quite the campaign in his first year in Carolina. Andersen fell to 20-11-1 with a 2.43 GAA and a .904 SV%. He may start one game at most to close the season as the Canes will surely want him healthy and rested for the playoffs. Look for Antti Raanta to pick up a start or two to close the year.
Frederik Andersen turned aside 20 out of the 22 shots he faced on Thursday in the 3-0 loss to the Predators.
Fantasy Impact
It was a decent performance for Andersen, however, Juuse Saros stood on his head on the other side of the ice. When healthy, Andersen has been a top-ten goaltender from the start of this season, and it is good to see him performing well in the final days to close out the year too. With only a few games remaining, expect Andersen and Antti Raanta to alternate starts to keep Andersen fresh for the playoffs. He fell to 20-10-1 with a 2.41 GAA and a .904 SV%.
