Andersen (lower body) is back at practice Thursday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is one of three goaltenders on the ice, as Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov are also facing shots. Andersen has been out of action since Nov. 6 and is 5-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA and an .891 save percentage this season. There is no word on when he will be able to return to the lineup.

According to coach Rod Brind'Amour, Andersen (lower body) isn't close to returning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has already missed four games with his lower-body injury, and at this point there's no telling when he might be ready to return. Antti Raanta and Pyotr Kochetkov should continue to split the goaltending duties for the Hurricanes until Andersen is cleared to play.

Andersen (undisclosed) has been placed on injured reserve retroactive to Nov. 6, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen suffered the undisclosed injury Tuesday during practice and will be eligible to return Nov. 14 against the Blackhawks in Chicago, but nothing is certain at this time. Andersen is 5-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA and an .891 save percentage this season.

Andersen (undisclosed) will not suit up for Thursday's game versus the Oilers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour refused to put a timeline on Andersen's return. Pyotr Kochetkov will handle the goaltending duties versus the Oilers, while Antti Raanta should see a majority of the starts until Andersen is ready to play again.

Andersen (undisclosed) has traveled back to Carolina and won't be available versus the Panthers on Wednesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

With a back-to-back on the schedule, it seems unlikely Andersen will be ready to face Edmonton on Thursday, which will likely force Pyotr Kochetkov into his first start of the season. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran Andersen had been putting together a decent start to the year with a 5-3-0 record and 2.72 GAA in eight contests.

Andersen suffered an undisclosed injury during Tuesday's practice, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Rod Brind'Amour was not sure what happened to Andersen but said the Hurricanes goalie "did something." Carolina has brought up netminder Pyotr Kochetkov from the minors on an emergency basis. If Andersen can't play Wednesday against Florida, Antti Raanta would check in as the probable starter with Kochetkov as the backup.

Andersen surrendered three goals on 21 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes had trouble solving Toronto third-stringer Erik Kallgren at the other end of the rink, and Andersen wasn't able to be a difference-maker in this one. This was the fourth time in eight starts Andersen has seen less than 25 shots on net, but he had won the other three such outings. He's now at 5-3-0 with a 2.72 GAA and an .891 save percentage this year -- those are rather pedestrian numbers compared to the impressive work he did last year. The Hurricanes' next three games won't be much easier, as they face the Panthers on Wednesday, Oilers on Thursday and Avalanche on Saturday. Andersen should be penciled in to start two of those tough games.

Andersen will patrol the home crease Sunday against Toronto, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has won his past two outings, including a 23-save performance in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Tampa Bay. He has a 5-2-0 record this season with a 2.66 GAA and an .894 save percentage. Andersen allowed eight goals on 78 shots against his former team last year en route to a mark of 1-1-1.

Andersen made 23 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over the Lightning on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The ice was tilted heavily toward Andrei Vasilevskiy at the other end of the ice -- he faced more than twice as many shots. But Andersen was sharp when needed. He allowed two power-play goals and another at even strength, and only allowed one goal in six grounds of the shoot out. Overall, the Great Dane is 5-2-0 with a 2.66 GAA and .894 save percentage. Andersen's game has wobbled a bit since his first two outstanding starts. He has allowed 17 goals in his last five starts.

Andersen exited Thursday's game-day skate first, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has had two bad outings to start the year, in which he allowed five goals apiece, but has otherwise been solid with four wins in six outings. In total, the veteran netminder is sporting a .896 save percentage as well as a 2.64 GAA. Heading into the rest of the season, Andersen figures to continue seeing the bulk of the workload with Antti Raanta stepping in when needed.
