Frederik Andersen News

Brandon Bussi, the 27-year-old rookie goalie and feel-good story of the 2025-26 season, has struggled lately, opening the door for Andersen to reclaim the Carolina crease. As such, Andersen has won three straight but has failed to impress, posting subpar numbers of 2.94 GAA and .857 SV%. The 36-year-old veteran goalie has a 2.57 GAA and .879 SV% in five games since returning from the Olympic break (4-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as -141 home favourites against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that will welcome Sidney Crosby (lower-body) back from a multi-week absence.

Andersen has had a largely disappointing 2025-26 season, but recent struggles from Brandon Bussi have given him more opportunities, during which he has shown some encouraging signs. The 36-year-old veteran Andersen is sporting an under-.500 record for the first time in his career (9-11-5), but he has been much more dependable in recent games, posting a 4-1-3 record in his last eight, albeit with an underwhelming 2.59 GAA and .886 SV%. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as significant -204 home favourites against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that is 3-3-2 since the Olympic break, while playing without Sidney Crosby (lower body) and, more recently, Evgeni Malkin (suspension).

The Hurricanes could be returning to their typical rotation between the pipes as Frederik Andersen gets the call in Edmonton on Friday. Andersen was tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing two goals on 15 shots in a 2-1 loss in Seattle on Monday. The 13-year-veteran brings an 8-11-5 record and .874 SV% into Friday night's matchup, where the Hurricanes enter action at -120 on the money line.

The Hurricanes have alternated goalies, occasionally relying more heavily on Brandon Bussi. Still, after a strong performance by Andersen, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings, the team will turn to him again in hopes of helping him get into a rhythm. The 36-year-old Andersen has had an unmemorable 2025-26 season but has shown encouraging signs in his recent outings, saving 113 of 123 shots (.919 SV%) in his last four games (2-0-2). The Hurricanes enter Monday's contest as -175 road favourites against a Seattle Kraken team coming off a 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

Andersen allowed three goals on 26 shots in Denmark's 3-1 loss to Germany in their tournament opener. He sat for the USA game, but will be back between the pipes vs. Latvia. The game is basically a coin flip but Denmark enters 0-2 and Latvia comes in at 1-1.

It has been a very difficult season for Andersen, who is 7-10-5 with a 3.26 GAA and .871 SV% for the Carolina Hurricanes. Still, he enters the Olympics as Denmark's No.1 goalie after a fantastic performance for them during the Olympic qualifiers. He was 3-0-0 with a 1.31 GAA and .938 SV% in three games.

Andersen has had a woeful time in Carolina's net this season, but is coming off of his best performance in weeks, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. Prior to that, he had a disappointing 3.64 GAA and .840 SV% in his previous 12 games (2-7-3). The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as significant -295 home favorites against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Andersen has seen more action lately, albeit less than Brandon Bussi, due to Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) being out for the season. He will return to the crease on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 36-year-old Andersen is coming off a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, where he saved 11 of 13 shots (.846 SV%), ending a miserable seven-game losing streak (0-7-2) where he posted an ugly 3.82 GAA and .840 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -134 road favorites against a Red Wings team on a three-game winning streak

The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -134 road favorites against a Red Wings team on a three-game winning streak.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) likely out for the remainder of the season, Andersen has seen more time between the pipes, but his struggles have continued. The 36-year-old veteran goalie is on a miserable nine-game losing skid (0-7-2), posting an unsightly 3.85 GAA and .840 SV%. The Hurricanes enter the action on Tuesday as -207 home favorites against Andersen's former team, the Anaheim Ducks, whom they defeated 4-1 earlier this season.

With Pyotr Kochetkov (lower body) expected to miss the remainder of the season, the Hurricanes' goaltending duo of Brandon Bussi and Frederik Andersen will be on full display. Bussi was successful in a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers last night, and Andersen will head to the crease on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The veteran Andersen has struggled this season, limited to only two games in the last month. He has a concerning 3.27 GAA and .869 SV% in 15 games this season (5-8-2).
