Hall (ankle) returned to practice on Monday; no timetable for his return.

Andersen gets the nod vs. the Canucks.

Andersen allowed four goals on 20 shots in the Ducks 5-2 loss to the Penguins. He has allowed a combined five goals on 50 shots (.900 SV%) in two games since returning from a next injury.
