Brind’Amoui said Andersen would be re-evaluated in about a week to “see where he is”. – Chip Alexander (@ice_chip) April 18, 2022 Andersen was injured late Saturday night in the game against the Colorado Avalanche. “Carolina obviously hopes it is not very serious at this point, but the MRI scan will give a clearer picture,” Pierre LeBron, TSN Hockey Insider, wrote on Twitter.
The hearing of Andersen’s MRI came back negative, which is good. There is hope that he can be ready for the playoffs. But as @SaraCivian says here, the team will have better information about him next week. https://t.co/XCKYaib0h2 – Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) April 18, 2022 The 32-year-old allowed seven goals in 33 shots on Saturday, leaving the game late as he appeared to be suffering from an injury while slipping to his left after a rebound. Andersen has turned off the lights in 2021-22, scoring goals averaging 2.17 and a rebound rate of 0.922 in 52 games this season for the Hurricanes, his first in Carolina. The Hurricanes start on Monday with a draw with the New York Rangers at the top of the Metropolitan Division with 104 points.
