Andersen was not feeling well, which is why he didn't start Saturday versus the Sabres, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fantasy managers might have been puzzled to see Antti Raanta making a second straight start, but this news clarifies the situation. Andersen shouldn't need too long to get over the illness -- he'll likely get the start Tuesday against the Jets if he's feeling better.

Andersen yielded three goals on 16 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
EDGE Analysis
The Hurricanes put up 40 shots against Braden Holtby, but only got one late goal to show for it. Meanwhile, Andersen had no answer for the Stars' top line of Roope Hintz (hat trick), Joe Pavelski (three points) and Jason Robertson (two assists). With his third straight loss, Andersen slipped to 11-5-0 with a 2.05 GAA and a .928 save percentage in 16 games. The Dane has seen his workload shrink a bit lately -- it's unclear if Andersen or Antti Raanta will start Thursday versus the slumping Senators.

Andersen will get the starting nod on the road against the Kings on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After two nights off, Andersen put together a stellar performance against the Ducks on Thursday in which he allowed just one goal on 32 shots. The 32-year-old netminder will look to carry that momentum forward into Saturday's contest and should feature heavily during the remaining three games of the Canes' West Coast swing.
