Andersen turned aside 21 of 22 shots in a 6-1 win over New Jersey in Game 4 on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing four goals on 12 shots before being pulled Sunday, this was an ideal bounce back contest for Andersen. He was beaten by Jack Hughes early in the first period, but he was flawless after that. Andersen has a 4-0 record, 1.80 GAA and .930 save percentage in five outings this year.

Andersen allowed four goals on 12 shots in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen allowed three goals in the first period and another early in the second before he was replaced by Pyotr Kochetkov 53 seconds into the frame.

However, he was spared the loss as Carolina would rally to score four goals between the second and third periods. Andersen is 3-0-0 with a .925 save percentage in four postseason starts.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen got the nod in Game 6 versus the Islanders and allowed just one goal on 34 shots in a 2-1 overtime win to push the Hurricanes into the second round.

EDGE Analysis

Antti Raanta got the nod in the first five games of the series, but after Raanta posted a 2.98 GAA and .894 save percentage in his last four starts, Andersen saw his first action since April 13 and responded with a strong performance to send his team into the second round. Coach Rod Brind'Amour could now have a tough choice to make in net, but he'll have a few days to think about it as the Hurricanes await the winner of the Devils-Rangers series.
