The Carolina Hurricanes will be without their No. 1 netminder for the foreseeable future.
Frederik Andersen is expected to miss approximately eight more weeks after undergoing a procedure on his knee, Sportsnet can confirm.
Andersen, 35. hasn’t played since Oct. 26 after being sidelined with an undisclosed injury.
He was off to a strong start to the season before the injury, starting 3-1-0 with a .941 save percentage and 1.49 goals-against average through his first four games.
With Andersen unavailable, Pyotr Kochetkov has taken over as the Hurricanes’ primary goaltender.
The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been stellar in Andersen’s absence. He has a 10-2 record with a 2.30 goals-against average and .907 save percentage and has helped the Hurricanes to first place in the Metropolitan Division with a 14-4 record.
