Andersen Returns to Net Amidst Losing Streak
27 Nov
Summary
- Andersen starts at home against the Rangers on Wednesday.
- He has a .854 save percentage over his last four games.
- Kochetkov's absence may increase Andersen's workload.
Goalie Frederik Andersen is slated to start between the pipes for the home game against the Rangers on Wednesday. Andersen has been struggling recently, marked by a four-game losing streak where he has posted a .854 save percentage, conceding 13 goals on 89 shots. While he has alternated starts during this difficult period, Andersen appears poised for a greater workload due to the absence of Pyotr Kochetkov, who is sidelined with a lower-body injury.
The opposing Rangers have also faced offensive challenges, scoring only 12 goals in their last six contests, resulting in a 2-4-0 record. This could present a favorable matchup for Andersen to break his streak and find his rhythm. His performance will be crucial as his team navigates Kochetkov's absence.
Fans will be watching closely to see if Andersen can rebound against a struggling Rangers offense. The team's playoff aspirations may hinge on his ability to solidify the goaltending position during this critical stretch of the season.
