Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Builds win streak Saturday
Rotowire
Andersen turned away 26 of 27 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.
Andersen picked up his second consecutive win Saturday, as he kept the Mammoth off the scoreboard until early in the third period. With the win, he now holds a 16-14-5 record, a 3.05 GAA and an .874 save percentage through 35 appearances this season. Since the Olympics, the 36-year-old netminder has taken a step closer to his form in prior years with a 9-4-0 record and a 2.70 GAA across his last 13 outings. His save numbers have fluctuated during that time, however, making Andersen a risky option for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

He'll draw a difficult matchup against the Mammoth, who rank 10th in the NHL with 3.31 goals per game this season.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Solid showing in landslide win
Rotowire
Andersen turned aside 23 of 25 shots on net in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Since the Olympics, he has found the win column much more frequently with an 8-4-0 record over his last 12 outings. His save percentage has fluctuated throughout the majority of the season, but his recent wins have elevated him back to fantasy viability in most deep leagues.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Slated to face Chicago
Rotowire
Andersen is expected to start on the road against Chicago on Thursday, per Adam Gold of The Adam Gold Show.
Andersen will attempt to bounce back after allowing five goals on 30 shots en route to a 6-3 loss to Ottawa in his last start Sunday. He has a 14-14-5 record, 3.15 GAA and .870 save percentage in 33 appearances this season. Chicago is 7-14-7 while averaging just 2.25 goals per game across its past 28 matches.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Beaten five times Sunday
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 25 of 30 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Senators. The sixth goal was an empty-netter with 57 seconds left in the game.
Andersen has been rotating with Brandon Bussi between the pipes, but the former hasn't had the best results of late after dropping three of his past four starts. Over that stretch, Andersen has posted disappointing numbers, allowing a total of 13 goals on 76 shots. It wouldn't be surprising if the timeshare between Andersen and Bussi continues until the end of the regular season, but from a results perspective, Andersen is clearly the No. 2 option to protect the Hurricanes' crease behind Bussi.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: First win in last three starts
Rotowire
Andersen made nine saves in a 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets on Thursday.
Yes, you read that right -- nine shots. The only goal that Andersen conceded came off a rebound in a goal-mouth scramble in the second period. He has been alternating starts with Brandon Bussi, but he had lost his previous two starts, both of which came against Montreal. The Canes' tight system doesn't allow many shots. That's great for the goalies, but it puts pressure on fantasy managers who count anything other than wins. Andersen has a 3.09 GAA and .871 save percentage in 32 starts (14-13-5). Those stats are well below this season's league-wide averages of 2.87 and .896.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Patrolling crease versus Jackets
Rotowire
Andersen will protect the net for Thursday's home clash with Columbus.
Andersen has lost each of his last two contests, giving him a 3-2-0 record and 3.03 GAA over his previous five outings. The veteran netminder continues to split the workload with Brandon Bussi, but Andersen will likely find himself relegated to the No. 2 role once the postseason starts.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Falls to Canadiens
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 15 of 18 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Canadiens.
Andersen gave up all three goals in the second period and didn't get enough help to overcome that bad frame. The 36-year-old has lost his last two outings, giving up seven goals on 36 shots in that span to follow a five-game winning streak. Andersen and Brandon Bussi are nearly splitting the crease evenly now, and behind the Hurricanes' sturdy defense, both goalies are in good position to rack up wins. On the year, Andersen has gone 13-13-5 with a 3.16 GAA and an .871 save percentage. The Hurricanes face the Blue Jackets for a home-and-home over the next two games, beginning in Columbus on Tuesday.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Yields four consecutive goals
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 14 of 18 shots on net in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Andersen's solid start to the contest declined over time, and Carolina's 2-0 lead evaporated, as he allowed four consecutive goals between the midway points of the first and third periods. With the loss, the 35-year-old netminder now has a 13-12-5 record, a 3.15 GAA and an .871 save percentage across 30 games this season. The loss snapped his five-game win streak. While the overall stats aren't inside the upper echelon of the league, Andersen has played his best hockey of the season since the Olympic break, making him a solid option in most formats for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs. His next chance to bounce back is Saturday against New Jersey.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Beaten once in comfortable win
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 18 of 19 shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
Andersen was coming off five straight outings in which he'd posted a save percentage below .900, so this was a nice bounce-back effort for the 36-year-old veteran. He should remain the Hurricanes' No. 2 option behind Brandon Bussi, though, meaning his upside for the fantasy playoffs will be limited and strictly matchup-based.

Andersen stopped 30 shots in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.
The wild back-and-forth contest saw neither team build more than a one-goal lead at any point, and seven total goals scored in the third period. Andersen still held on to record his fourth straight win, and fifth in six outings since the Olympic break as he works in a timeshare with Brandon Bussi. Over that stretch, Andersen has gone 5-1-0 despite a 2.95 GAA and .873 save percentage, as Carolina has averaged 4.5 goals a game in his starts.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Third straight win
Rotowire
Andersen made 17 saves in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
Andersen has won three straight games (3-0-0), beating the Oilers, Penguins and Lightning. He's alternating starts with Brandon Bussi, who is 1-2-0 this month. Carolina sits at the top of the Eastern Conference with 90 points, so it has plenty of wiggle room to give Bussi a rest before the playoffs start. Andersen will benefit from that.

Andersen conceded five goals on 28 shots during a loss against Pittsburgh on Dec. 30, but that game was on the road.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Earns win despite subpar outing
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 13 of 16 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.
Andersen got back to winning ways after sitting out the 6-4 win over the Canucks on Wednesday and losing against the Kraken on Monday. That said, this was far from his best showing, as the 36-year-old veteran posted an underwhelming .813 save percentage in the game. Andersen has posted a save percentage below .870 in his last two starts.
