RALEIGH, NC. – The Carolina Hurricanes will have Frederik Andersen between the pipes on Thursday when they face the Detroit Red Wings.
The veteran netminder has dynamite since returning to the crease earlier this month, going 6-0 with a 1.34 goals against average and a .951 save percentage.
He’s allowed a total of just eight goals in those six games.
In front of the Canes’ net, Martin Necas will play, but Jesper Fast will not.
Necas missed yesterday’s practice because he wasn’t feeling 100%, but Rod Brind’Amour confirmed pre-game that he will play.
Fast, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury, will miss a fifth consecutive game.
