Andersen will start in St. Louis on Friday.

The 34-year-old has been in outstanding form since returning from injury in early March, posting an 8-1-0 record and a .954 SV% across nine starts. He is in a great spot to stay in the win column on Friday with the Hurricanes being -210 favourites over the Blues.
