Stankoven will draw back into Dallas' lineup on Tuesday in Columbus.

Oskar Back will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Stankoven to re-enter the lineup. After a tremendous start to his rookie season, tallying 14 points (4G / 10A) in his five 15 games, Stankoven only has 11 points (3G / 8A) in his last 39 outings.

Andersen will start in Minnesota on Thursday.

Andersen will make his ninth start of the season when the Hurricanes travel to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Thursday. Andersen struggled in his last outing, allowing four goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday. It was just the second loss of the season for Andersen, who now owns a 6-2-0 record along with a .913 SV%. He's a good bet to get back in the win column on Thursday as the Hurricanes enter action at -180 on the money line.
