Andersen (groin) indicated Friday that he hasn't ruled out the possibility of playing in Saturday's game against the Canucks, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen participated in a full practice session Friday, which certainly puts him on a path toward a potential return Saturday. He will rest up overnight and see how he feels on game day before a final decision is made, but Michael Hutchinson has already been confirmed as the starter for the contest. If he remains on IR through Saturday, a return Monday against the Predators seems nearly a guarantee barring a setback.
