The Hurricanes will search for their fifth straight win on Thursday and likely turn to Andersen between the pipes. Andersen has been sensational since returning to the lineup after a multi-month absence dealing with a blood clot, winning all four games, allowing only five total goals, and posting a dazzling .949 SV%. The Hurricanes enter action as sizeable -231 home favourites against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Anderson has not lost since returning from blood clots on March 7th and will look to extend his two-game win streak on Thursday vs. Florida. The 34-year-old has an incredibly impressive record (6-1-0) despite his injury-riddled season but will look to improve on both his .904 SV% and .249 GAA. He will host one of the league's hottest teams in the Florida Panthers, who have won eight of their last 10 games and lead the NHL in shots per game (33.9).
Andersen has been out since November 2nd, 2023 due to blood clots but will make his much-awaited return to Carolina's crease on Thursday vs. Montreal. The 34-year-old veteran netminder got off to a winning start to originally begin the season, with his 4-1-0 record, 2.87 GAA and .894 SV%. He will host the Montreal Canadiens, who have struggled as of late with seven losses in their last nine games and are 27th in the NHL in goals per game (2.79).
Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. He has actively participated in practice the last several weeks and could return to the lineup imminently after being activated from IR on Thursday. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0), and at the very least, he will likely return to a timeshare between the pipes.

Andersen was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms in November. Andersen has resumed off-ice activities without complication and will not begin limited on-ice conditioning. Andersen remains without a timetable to return to the lineup.
Andersen did not participate in practice on Monday due to what was originally described as an undisclosed medical issue. Don Waddell, Hurricanes President and GM, has since put out a statement noting that Andersen had a blood clotting issue that needed to be addressed. There is no timeline for his return. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0). Assuming he misses extended time, Antti Raanta will be the likely candidate to take on most of the Hurricanes' goaltending duties. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.
A concrete update has not been provided yet but Andersen did not participate in practice on Monday due to an undisclosed medical issue.

After a slow start to the season, the Hurricanes are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and will likely turn to Andersen for his second consecutive start. In his last two games (2-0-0), Andersen has saved 50 of 54 shots (.926 SV%) and appears to be returning to form after posting a .855 SV% in his first three appearances (2-0-0). Despite their recent success, the Hurricanes are slight +100 road underdogs as they visit the 7-2-0 New York Rangers, who have outscored their opposition 17-7 during a five-game winning streak.

Andersen will be the starter for the Hurricanes on Monday as they face off against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite his perfect 3-0-0 record to start the season, Andersen has been anything but perfect with a lowly 3.38 GAA and .875 SV%. Andersen has never finished a season with a goals-against average greater than 2.96 but has plenty of time to correct his totals, starting tonight as the Hurricanes are -180 road favourites.

Andersen has not played since October 17th due to a upper-body injury but did back up Pyotr Kotchetkov on Tuesday and will start Thursday vs. Seattle. The 34-year-old veteran is undefeated at 2-0-0 despite his unimpressive .855 SV% and 4.14 GAA. He will face the Seattle Kraken Thursday, who have won two of their last three games but rank 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.29).
Despite getting the victory in each of his first two starts of the season, Andersen would have been hoping for a better start to the year following a relatively down season in 2022-23 which saw him post a .903 SV% across 34 appearances, but his performance thus far has left plenty to be desired. His perfect 2-0-0 record masks the fact that he’s surrendered eight goals on just 60 shots, good enough for a measly .867 SV% and a 3.84 GAA. The Hurricanes have one of the more capable backups in the league in Antti Raanta, and with Pyotr Kochetkov also waiting in the wings in Syracuse (AHL), Andersen will need to turn his game around fast if he wants to maintain his status as Carolina’s undisputed number one.
