Andersen made 31 saves in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Patrik Laine beat Andersen early in the second period before departing with an upper-body injury, but it was all Carolina after that, as the Hurricanes responded with four unanswered goals. Andersen picked up right where he left off after going 35-14-3 with a 2.17 GAA and .922 save percentage in his first campaign with the Hurricanes last season.

Andersen is expected to start Wednesday against Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is the clear-cut starter in Carolina, so as long as he stays healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see him play in 50-55 games. He posted a 35-14-3 record, 2.17 GAA, and .922 save percentage in 52 contests last season.

Andersen is slated to defend the cage for Tuesday's home game against the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen was sidelined for the final 20 games of the 2021-22 campaign due to a knee injury. Heading into this season, the veteran Andersen figures to take the starting role with Antti Raanta serving as the No. 2 option. Prior to his absence, Andersen still managed to rack up 35 wins, his first time reaching that mark since 2018-19 when he was with Toronto.

Andersen (knee) practiced with the first group during Thursday's on-ice session at Hurricanes training camp, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen was nearing a return in May when the Hurricanes were eliminated by the Rangers in the second round of the playoffs. As such, it's no surprise he's healthy to begin the 2022-23 campaign. The 32-year-old has a lengthy injury history, but he's one of the best goalies in the league when healthy. He posted a 35-14-3 record, four shutouts, a 2.17 GAA and a .922 save percentage in 52 contests last year.

Andersen missed the final six games of the regular season and the entirety of the playoffs after suffering a torn MCL on April 16 versus the Avalanche, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen was evidently nearing a return, but the Hurricanes were eliminated from the playoffs by the Rangers before the Danish netminder could rejoin the lineup. Assuming he makes a full recovery, Andersen will presumably return to his role as Carolina's No. 1 netminder in 2022-23. He went 35-14-3 while posting an admirable 2.17 GAA and .922 save percentage through 52 regular-season appearances this year.

Andersen (lower body) was on the ice for a portion of Monday's practice, though coach Rod Brind'Amour wouldn't provide more of an update, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, Andersen should be considered status quo heading into Game 4 against the Rangers on Tuesday, so fantasy players should continue to expect him to remain sidelined indefinitely until the team provides a clearer update. As long as Antti Raanta continues to get his team through, the Canes are unlikely to rush Andersen back into the nets.

Andersen (lower body) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Andersen is clearly making progress in his recovery, he'll need to log at least one full practice before potentially making his postseason debut. Antti Raanta has been excellent for the Hurricanes in Andersen's absence, so there's no reason for Carolina to rush him back before he's fully healthy.

Andersen (lower body) will not play Tuesday against the Bruins, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's no real update on Andersen's status at this point. Per head coach Rod Brind'Amour, he still hasn't gotten back on the ice and the team won't have an update until he does. Tuesday will be his 11th straight absence.

Andersen won't be available Sunday for Game of the Hurricanes' first-round series against the Bruins due to a lower-body injury, CardiacCane.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Antti Raanta's starting with Pyotr Kochetkov working in a backup role. The Hurricanes lead the series 2-1 and have thus far outplayed Boston without needing Andersen, who has been skating on his own but remains without a concrete return timeline.

Andersen (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bruins, CardiacCane.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes likely don't feel the need to rush Andersen back, as Antti Raanta was fantastic in Monday's Game 1 versus Boston, stopping 35 of 36 shots en route to a 5-1 victory. Barring a poor performance, Raanta will almost certainly continue to operate as Carolina's workhorse in goal until Andersen is ready to return.
