Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Ready for postseason

Andersen was back on the ice Thursday in the lead-up to Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Islanders, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Andersen was in the starter's crease at Thursday's practice session, suggesting he'll get the starting nod for Saturday's home clash versus the Islanders. The backstop had been splitting the workload with Pyotr Kochetkov down the stretch but it seems unlikely that trend will continue into the postseason.
