G CAR
Andersen was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and is expected to make the start Tuesday versus the Flyers, NHL.com's Adam Kimelman reports.
Coach Bruce Boudreau was generally expected to alternate the starts between Andersen and John Gibson to open the season, but this would mark three straight outings for Andersen if he is in fact given the nod. Though he was in goal for three periods Monday against Buffalo, Andersen didn't exactly have to exert himself, with the Sabres only mustering 12 shot attempts on the afternoon. After Gibson was bombed for six goals in the opener, Andersen has been steady in two turns (2-0-0, 1.50 GAA, .927) giving him the inside track on settling in as the Ducks' No. 1 goalie.
