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.

Andersen made 17 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Carolina held a 2-0 lead heading into the third period, but a Niko Mikkola point shot deflected past Andersen early in the final frame, and that seemed to open the floodgates. The veteran netminder was seeing his first action since Dec. 4, and while Tuesday's result had a lot more to do with ragged play by the Hurricanes defense, it won't encourage coach Rod Brind'Amour to work Andersen into his three-headed goalie rotation more frequently. Anderson's gone seven straight starts without a win dating back to Nov. 11, stumbling to an 0-5-2 record over that stretch with a 3.64 GAA and .834 save percentage.

Andersen will be between the pipes at home versus the Panthers on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen hasn't featured in the crease since Dec. 4 versus Toronto, with the Canes having split the last nine starts between Brandon Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov. At some point, Carolina will likely have to make a decision in the crease rather than carrying three netminders, and it appears Andersen could be the odd man out.

Andersen made 19 saves in a 5-1 loss to Toronto on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The first couple goals were purely bad luck. The first went off the post, hit Andersen and trickled over the line. The second hit the back glass and the puck bounced into the slot where a Leaf player drilled it past the stunned netminder. Andersen allowed four goals. He has really struggled over the last month. His last regulation win was Nov. 8, and he's 1-4-2 in seven starts. Andersen has allowed 23 goals in that span.

Andersen will defend the home crease against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has been in a skid across the past few weeks, as he's gone 0-3-2 with a 3.26 GAA and .849 save percentage over his last five starts. He didn't appear in either of Carolina's last two games but will return to the crease for Thursday's home matchup. The Maple Leafs have had a proficient offense this year, scoring 3.42 goals per game, which is the fifth-highest mark in the NHL.

Andersen stopped 14 of 17 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

While the Rangers didn't get a lot of chances, the ones they did get came in high-danger areas, and Andersen couldn't come up with a big save to shift the momentum when his team needed one. The veteran netminder has gone five straight starts without a win, stumbling to an 0-3-2 record with a 3.26 GAA and .849 save percentage during that swoon, but with Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) potentially set to miss some time, Andersen could be leaned on heavily in the short term by the Hurricanes.

Andersen will tend the twine at home versus the Rangers on Wednesday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is mired in a four-game losing streak, allowing 13 goals on 89 shots (.854 save percentage) in that span. He's alternated starts during that stretch, but Andersen looks to be in line for a larger workload in the absence of Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body). The Rangers have scored just 12 goals over their last six games, going 2-4-0 in that span, so this could be a good chance for Andersen to get on track.
