Oct 24, 2024; Calgary, Alberta, CAN; Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (31) on his bench against the Calgary Flames during the third period at Scotiabank Saddledome. Mandatory Credit: Sergei Belski-Imagn Images Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will have knee surgery on Friday and miss about eight to 12 weeks of action, general manager Eric Tulsky announced Thursday.
The procedure was characterized as "not major" and "just a clean-up" by TSN, but the timeline would keep him sidelined until mid-January.
Andersen, 35, is 3-1-0 with a .941 save percentage and a 1.48 goals-against average in four starts this season, his fourth campaign with Carolina and 12th in the NHL. His most recent start was on Oct. 26.
The two-time Jennings Trophy winner is 298-128-52 with 27 shutouts, a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage in 499 games with the Anaheim Ducks (2013-16), Toronto Maple Leafs (2016-21) and Hurricanes.
Pyotr Kochetkov will continue handling primary duties in net for the Hurricanes with Spencer Martin as a backup.
