Andersen (illness) "should be fine" for Game 3 on Friday, Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour told Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen didn't play Wednesday due to illness, but he was back on the ice for Thursday's morning skate. It remains to be seen who the starter will be for Friday's contest, but Antti Raanta is the likely candidate given that he's won the Hurricanes' first two contests of the 2023 playoffs. Andersen had a 21-11-1 record, 2.48 GAA and .903 save percentage in 34 regular-season outings.

Andersen isn't an option for Game 2 on Wednesday because of an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen had a 21-11-1 record, 2.48 GAA and .903 save percentage in 34 contests with Carolina during the regular season. Antti Raanta will start in Game 2 on Wednesday after saving 20 of 21 shots in Carolina's 2-1 victory over the Islanders in Monday's series opener. With Andersen unavailable, Pyotr Kochetkov is projected to serve as the backup.

Andersen turned aside 30 shots in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The four goal were the most he'd allowed since March 18, but Andersen still rolled to his 21st win of the season thanks to big-time goal support. The veteran netminder heads into the playoffs with a 2.48 GAA and .903 save percentage, and while Antti Raanta posted better ratios during the regular season, Andersen seems the more likely choice of coach Rod Brind'Amour to start Game 1 of the Hurricanes' first-round series against the Islanders.

Andersen allowed three goals on 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was solid Monday, making 29 saves, but Claude Giroux's third-period tally would stand as the game-winner in a 3-2 Hurricanes loss. The 33-year-old Andersen is 20-11-1 this year with a .904 save percentage. Antti Raanta will likely get the start Tuesday versus the Red Wings, lining up Andersen for the regular-season finale Thursday against the Panthers.
