<p><a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/carolina-hurricanes/line-combinations">Carolina Hurricanes</a> head coach Rod Brind’Amour spoke to the media Thursday morning and stated that upon re-evaluation, goaltender Frederik Andersen will be out week-to-week with a lower-body injury.</p>



<p>It was reported last week that Andersen had been dealing with an undisclosed injury. Frank Seravalli was able to provide a bit of clarity on the injury stating it did not have anything to do with the previous blood clots that Andersen had dealt with.</p>

<p>The Danish netminder has appeared in four games this season recording a 1.48 goals against average and .941 save percentage.</p>



<p>Last season, Andersen missed time due to blood clotting issues that arose last Nov. but managed to put together a 13-2-0 record in 16 appearances. He appeared in 10 Stanley Cup Playoff contests as the New York Rangers eliminated the Canes.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="153"></div>



<p>The Hurricanes originally signed Andersen in 2021 to a two-year contract, worth $4.5 million per season. After two successful years in North Carolina, Andersen re-upped with the Hurricanes to another two-year deal.</p>



<p>Andersen has played with three different teams throughout his career. He started out with the Anaheim Ducks in the 2013-14 season after being selected by the team in the third round, No. 87 overall, of the 2012 NHL Draft. Andersen then was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs where he became a starter and appeared in at least 60 games in each of his first three seasons with the team.</p>



<p>Through 499 career NHL games with the Ducks, Maple Leafs, and Hurricanes, Andersen has put together a 295-127-52 record to go along with 27 shutouts and a .915 save percentage. He’s also gone 38-30 in 72 career playoff contests.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="141"></div>
