ANAHEIM, Calif. - Goaltender Frederik Andersen will try to win a fifth consecutive start for the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday as his team takes on the Anaheim Ducks.
The veteran backstop has been dynamite in March, going 4-1 and allowing two goals or fewer in all five appearances. He is also 78-26-16 with a .927 save percentage in 128 career games against the Pacific Division.
In front of him, the only thing we know for certain is that Andrei Svechnikov (upper-body injury) will miss a sixth consecutive game. Rod Brind'Amour revealed pre-game that he was hoping to have the winger back in the lineup this weekend, but he's unable to make today that day.
The head coach did share that Shayne Gostisbehere (illness), Seth Jarvis (undisclosed injury) and Jordan Staal (upper-body injury) will all take warmups and the team will see who can play from there.
