Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Falls to Boston in shootout
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 35 shots in regulation and overtime but went 0-for-2 in the shootout during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.
Andersen came up big as the Hurricanes rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period, but his luck ran out in the shootout. The veteran netminder hasn't been at his best in March, going 5-3-1 in nine starts with a .901 save percentage, but with Antti Raanta (lower body) closing in on his return, Andersen could get a chance to reset and take a breather before the regular season is done.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Tough loss to Blueshirts
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 14 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
The Carolina defense did its usual excellent job of preventing shots, but the offense couldn't get going and Andersen had little chance on either puck that beat him. The 33-year-old is perhaps a bit lucky he plays for the Hurricanes -- he has a shaky .897 save percentage in March, but that has translated into a 5-3-0 record and 2.37 GAA.

Rotowire
Andersen will protect the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Rangers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Andersen has won four of his last five games, allowing just 11 goals in that span. The 33-year-old will get a look at a Rangers team that is pushing to catch up with the Hurricanes in the standings, though Andersen's strong play of late should still make him a strong fantasy option.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Hangs on for win Tuesday
Rotowire
Andersen made 21 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Jets.
Carolina took a 3-1 into the third period, and while Winnipeg struck twice in the final 20 minutes, the Jets never managed to tie it up. Andersen has won three of his last four starts and sports a 2.29 GAA and .903 save percentage since the All-Star break, and the Hurricanes' stingy defense should continue to make life fairly easy for the netminder down the stretch.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Notches shootout win in relief
Rotowire
Andersen stopped 13 of 14 shots in regulation and overtime, and four of six shootout attempts, after replacing Antti Raanta (undisclosed) to begin the second period during Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.
Carolina was down 2-1 after the first frame, but Andersen played well in relief to secure his 16th win of the season. The veteran netminder is 5-3-0 since the All-Star break with a 2.08 GAA and .911 save percentage, but Raanta hasn't taken a regulation loss since Nov. 12. Unless the latter's injury proves to be serious, expect the duo to remain a timeshare down the stretch as the Hurricanes look to lock up the top spot in the Metropolitan Division.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Three-game win streak snapped
Rotowire
Andersen made 12 saves in a 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Saturday.
Andersen was beaten by a John Klingberg one-timer in the second and a tap-in by Jakob Silfverberg, who was left alone in the low slot and took a pass from behind the net early in the third. Troy Terry got the third goal when he cut across the slot, turned in the left circle and beat Andersen short side. The loss snapped the netminder's three-game winning streak. It was a night to forget for Andersen, who stood around a lot while watching John Gibson put on a 51-save show at the other end of the ice.
