Andersen stopped 29 of 30 shots on net in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Andersen will defend the road net against New Jersey on Saturday, according to Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen will get the second half of Carolina's back-to-back after Brandon Bussi played in Friday's 9-1 win over Florida. The 36-year-old Andersen is coming off a 14-save effort in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit. He has a 6-10-3 record with a 3.37 GAA and an .863 save percentage through 19 appearances this season. New Jersey ranks 27th in the league with 2.62 goals per game this campaign.

Andersen made 14 saves in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Andersen will guard the road goal against Detroit on Monday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is coming off an 11-save performance in Thursday's 5-2 win over Anaheim. He has a 6-10-2 record with a 3.35 GAA and an .866 save percentage through 18 appearances this campaign. Detroit is tied for 16th in the league this season with 3.11 goals per game.

Andersen made 11 saves in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina outshot the visitors 35-13 on the night, and Andersen shut the door completely in the second half of the game. It was the veteran netminder's first win since Nov. 6, and it was an encouraging performance after he'd given up 14 goals on just 84 shots over his prior three starts. With Pyotr Kochetkov (hip) on the shelf, Andersen is seeing regular action again, but he remains behind Brandon Bussi on the depth chart.

Andersen will start Thursday's home game against the Ducks, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has seen limited playing time this season, but he's gone winless over nine starts since early November. During that time, he's gone 0-7-2 with a 3.85 GAA and .840 save percentage. The Ducks are scoring 3.28 goals per game this year, which ranks eighth in the NHL.

Andersen stopped 30 of 34 shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Andersen will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has lost his last eight outings (0-6-2) while allowing 30 goals on 179 shots. He has a 5-9-2 record this season with a 3.38 GAA and an .865 save percentage through 16 appearances. Andersen made 44 saves in a 5-4 shootout win over the Avalanche on Oct. 23. Colorado ranks first in the league with 4.05 goals per game this campaign.

Andersen stopped 23 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Andersen is expected to make the road start versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
