Andersen will be in the crease for Monday's Game 3 against the Jets, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
With John Gibson still out with an upper-body injury, Andersen will again get the nod for the Ducks, who hold a 2-0 lead in the series. Andersen has been stellar in both contests, stopping 53 of 56 shots (.946 save percentage). Andersen may have a more difficult go of things in a hostile road environment in Winnipeg, but until Gibson is healthy again, the goal will be his on a night-in, night-out basis.

Andersen stopped 28 of 29 shots in Saturday's Game 2 win over the Jets.
Andersen has had a strong start to the playoffs, stopping 53 of 56 shots and helping the Ducks grab a 2-0 series lead over the Jets. He's been counted on all season long for Anaheim, so as long as he doesn't go through a terrible slump, fantasy owners shouldn't have to worry about youngster John Gibson (upper body) stealing his gig. If Andersen can keep up his strong play, the Ducks are likely in for a lengthy playoff run.

Andersen beat the Jets on Thursday for the fourth time in four tries this year, stopping 25 of 27 to take home a 4-2 win.
A strong playoff opener for Andersen, who actually trailed 2-1 at the second intermission, but was helped out by a Corey Perry-powered third-period rally. The strong stat line should help him draw the Game 2 start Saturday even if John Gibson (upper body) can get well in time. Gibson hasn't even returned to practice yet.

Andersen is in line to start Thursday's playoff opener against the Jets, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
With fellow goalie John Gibson still bouncing back from an upper-body injury, Jason LaBarbera is in line to back Andersen up on Thursday, at a minimum.

Andersen turned in a strong performance in his team's last regular season game, and all signs point towards Andersen starting in the Ducks' Round 1 series against the Winnipeg Jets. Andersen went 3-0 versus the Jets this season.

Andersen allowed four goals on 32 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Stars on Wednesday.
With just one game remaining in the regular season, this was not the way for Andersen to inspire confidence that he should be between the Ducks' pipes in the playoffs. Despite a 34-12-5 record, 2.40 GAA and .914 save percentage, he just hasn't been the same goalie since suffering an upper-body injury that kept him out from Feb. 8 to March 3. If coach Bruce Boudreau isn't certain that Andersen will be his guy when the playoffs commence next week, look for John Gibson to get a turn in goal in Anaheim's last game Saturday against Arizona.

Andersen is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Stars, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
Andersen, who has stopped 78 of 83 shots in three starts (all wins) since being yanked from the Ducks' March 22 loss to the Rangers, will square off Wednesday against a Dallas team that is no longer in playoff contention, but has won two straight games.

Andersen is in line to start Wednesday's game against the Stars, Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register reports.
A presumably well-rested Andersen, who stopped 22 of 23 shots in last Wednesday's win over the Oilers, will return to the Anaheim net after giving way to John Gibson in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Avs. Andersen will take aim Wednesday at a Dallas squad that has won two straight games, by a combined total of 9-4.

Andersen went 22-of-23 in Wednesday's win over the Oilers.
That's four wins in his last five starts for Andersen, as his team was able to clinch the Pacific Division title and home-ice advantage throughout the first two rounds of the playoffs. Andersen has now started five of the Ducks' past seven games, giving him a clear edge over John Gibson as we head towards the post-season.
