Andersen starts vs. Vancouver.

Andersen gave up three goals on just 19 Flames shots in the Ducks shootout loss on Tuesday. That is now six losses in a row for Andersen, who has posted a 2.91 GAA and .887 SV% over than span and was pulled twice. Despite his recent struggles, Jason LaBarbera poses no threat to his starting job and Andersen should continue to start regularly, making him a great fantasy asset.

Andersen starts in goal for the Ducks.

Andersen stopped 34 of 35 shots in the Ducks shootout loss to the Canucks on Sunday. Andersen continues to dazzle in the Ducks goal and with John Gibson sidelined for the next month or so, he will get a ton of starts. He will make his third consecutive tonight at home vs. the Kings—he is 3-1-2 with a 1.46 GAA and .949 SV% at home.

Andersen leads the Ducks onto the ice for warmups.

Andersen allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Ducks 3-2 shootout loss to the Coyotes on Friday. It was just Andersen’s second loss of the season, but it was another steady outing for the 25-year-old. He will take on the Canucks at home, where he is 3-1-1 with a 1.58 GAA and .943 SV%.

Andersen wil be back in the Ducks goal tonight.

Andersen allowed a single goal on 22 shots in the Ducks win over the Stars last Friday. Andersen missed the last two games with leg tightness, but will be back between the pipes tonight vs. Arizona. He is a must-start vs. a struggling Coyotes team at home where he is 3-1-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .948 SV%.

Stepan (leg) will make his season debut on Saturday.

Stepan has missed the first 12 games of the season with a fractured fibula that he suffered in the preseason. He skated on the Rangers second line with Mats Zuccarello and Chris Kreider this morning, so expect that to be where he is at tomorrow. He had 57 points (17G / 40A) in 82 games last season. He had never missed a game in his NHL career prior to this injury, so expect him to play 70 games and potentially get back to 50 points again.

Stastny (shoulder) will return to the Blues lineup on Thursday.

Stastny has missed the last eight games with a shoulder injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Devils. He will skate between Alex Steen and Joakim Lindstrom to start tonight. He has one goal and three assists in four games this season.

Andersen will be a game-time decision tonight.

Andersen missed Sunday’s game with ‘minor leg tightness’ but was on the ice for the game day skate this afternoon. He was the first on off of the ice and told the media after practice that his leg feels good but he “needs to see how I feel before tonight’s game”. So if Andersen’s leg is OK, he is your starter, if not, it will be Jason LaBarbera.

Andersen was the first goalie off of the ice for the Ducks.

Andersen was unavailable on Sunday because of minor leg tightness, but he was back on the ice this morning for the game day skate. While he was the first one off, Jason LaBarbera followed him about a minute later. This suggests that Andersen will get the call if his leg is good to go, but they did not want to keep LaBarbera on for extra work incase Andresen is unable to go. Stay tuned.
