This loss ended Andersen's four-game winning streak, dropping his record to a still-impressive 29-8-2.

It was utter domination for the Hurricanes, who out-shot the Jackets 50-19 on the night and 16-3 in the first period alone. Andersen cruised to his third shutout of the season and his third straight win, and his 2.06 GAA and .929 save percentage are on pace to be career bests if he can avoid a swoon down the stretch.

Despite those less than stellar numbers, the 32-year-old netminder went 1-1-1 during that stretch.
