Andersen will expectedly take the crease for Carolina's opening game against division rival Columbus on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old enjoyed an extremely successful first campaign in Carolina as he was one of the best goalies in the league in 2021-22, finishing seventh in Wins (35), second in GAA (2.17) and third in SV% (.922) on way to finishing fourth in Vezina voting.

Andersen suffered an injury vs. the Avalanche on Saturday and will be re-evaluated in one week. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said they will "see where he's at" next week, in the meantime the Hurricanes will roll with Antti Raanta as their starter and Pyotr Kochetkov as his backup.
