Andersen will be looking to bounce back after allowing five goals on 27 shots (.844 SV%) in a 6-4 loss to Edmonton his last time out. He has enjoyed a strong season regardless of his last start, sporting a 2-1-0 record to go along with his .920 SV% and 2.35 GAA. The Hurricanes take on the injured Vancouver Canucks, who are the only team left in the NHL without a win in 2022-23.
Andersen opened the week by stopping 22 of 23 shots in a 5-1 victory over the Seattle Kraken Monday. After finishing fourth in Vezina voting in 2021-22, Andersen has continued his impressive play to start this season allowing only two goals on 55 shots to bring him to a .964 SV% and 1.00 GAA while winning his first two starts. The undefeated Hurricanes head to Edmonton to take on Connor McDavid and the 1-2-0 Edmonton Oilers who are looking to end a two-game losing streak.
