Andersen (upper body) will back up Pyotr Kochetkov in Tuesday's game versus the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen isn't yet ready to start a game, but he's moved past his injury enough to dress as the backup. The 34-year-old netminder missed two contests with the injury. The Hurricanes' goaltending has been abysmal thus far, so any member of the trio of Andersen, Kochetkov and Antti Raanta could carve out a larger role with a stretch of good performances.
