Andersen made 27 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Since missing time earlier in the month with an undisclosed injury, Andersen has been locked in. He's only 2-2-0 in his last four starts thanks to some erratic offensive support, but his 1.78 GAA and .927 save percentage have been elite, and Andersen remains firmly in the Vezina conversation by ranking first in the NHL in GAA (2.06), second in SvP (.928) and tied for third in wins (31) -- one of only two netminders in the top five in all three categories, along with Igor Shesterkin.

Andersen will guard the home goal in Tuesday's game versus the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will get the nod in a game between two of the Eastern Conference's top teams. The 32-year-old has lost his last two games, allowing four goals in 38 shots in that span, a rare poor stretch in his otherwise excellent season. Despite the tough matchup, Andersen is a strong play in fantasy.

Andersen turned aside 16 of 17 shots in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
New York's final goal was scored into an empty net. Carolina dominated the game, out-shooting the Blueshirts 44-18, but the Hurricanes' shooters couldn't solve Alexandar Georgiev in the other crease while Andersen had no chance on the game-winner, a second-period point shot that Chris Kreider got his stick on and deflected into the top corner. Andersen has allowed one goal or less in four of his last six starts but is somehow only 3-3-0 during that stretch, and on the season he has a dazzling 2.06 GAA and .928 save percentage.

Andersen will start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has endured a brief downturn recently, as he's 1-2-0 since March 3 with a .904 save percentage. That said, his 30 victories still rank third in the NHL and are only two off the league lead, so fantasy managers can't be too displeased with Andersen. He'll face a tough Rangers team that's 19-12-2 on the road this season.

Andersen made 18 saves in a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was no doubt stoked to play against his former team, but didn't end up with the result he wanted. Ilya Mikheyev caught him leaning on the first goal and stuffed a backhander in from a sharp angle on a first-period rush. Mitch Marner made it 2-0 when he cut in on the right wing on a 2-on-1 and shot under Andersen's right pad. Ondrej Kase then made it 3-1 early in the third when he converted a one-timer on a 2-on-1. Andersen is riding the best season of his career with a 2.08 GAA and .928 save percentage, and a 30-9-2 record so far.

Andersen will start Thursday's road game in Toronto, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will face his former team for the third time this season. He's 1-0-1 with five goals allowed on 57 shots in his previous two outings against the Maple Leafs, though he's been generally solid in the road this season with a 15-5-1 record, a 2.13 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 21 contests.

Andersen made 28 saves in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Derick Brassard spoiled his shutout bid late in the second period, but otherwise Andersen looked sharp in his first action since March 3. The win was his 30th of the season, and if he can stay healthy down the stretch, his 2.06 GAA and .929 save percentage will keep him in the Vezina picture.

Andersen (undisclosed) will start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus Philadelphia, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has missed Carolina's last three games due to an undisclosed injury, so he may have some rust to shake off early Saturday. The 32-year-old backstop will try to secure his 30th win of the season in a juicy home matchup with a Flyers team that's averaging just 2.19 goals per game on the road this year, last in the NHL.

Andersen (undisclosed) will not participate in Thursday's game versus Colorado, per Sara Civian of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen will set his sights on returning for Saturday's tilt against Philadelphia. The 32-year-old has gone 29-8-2 with a 2.08 GAA and .928 save percentage over 39 appearances this season.

Andersen (undisclosed) is day-to-day and won't play Sunday against Seattle, per coach Rod Brind'Amour, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News and Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Antti Raanta took the starter's crease in Sunday's practice and is expected to start later in the day against the Kraken after also getting the nod in Carolina's last game, a win over Pittsburgh on Friday. Andersen's absence will allow Alex Lyon to dress in a backup role. It doesn't sound like Andersen's dealing with anything overly serious and Carolina isn't scheduled to play again until Thursday against Colorado, so Andersen probably won't have to miss any further game action beyond Sunday.
