This seems to be the sequence where Freddie Andersen first hurts himself. He is forced out of the game at the next whistle after another save. Favouring his right leg pic.twitter.com/Tx8fcpURa6� comrade lyubushkin (@mostlyleafies) April 17, 2022
Andersen has been terrific in his first season in Carolina. He is 2nd in the NHL in GAA with a 2.05 and has a save percentage of 0.922. He has backstopped the Hurricanes to first in the Metropolitan Division sharing that honour currently with the New York Rangers.
Veteran Antti Raanta will take the reigns while Andersen is recovering. He has a 12-5-4 record this season. They have also called up AHL Chicago Wolves goalie Pyotr Kochetkov.
