Andersen, “A Little Gimpy,” Following Win In Seattle
After posting 18 saves in Saturday’s 4-1 win in Seattle, it appears the Carolina Hurricanes will be without Frederik Andersen for a bit. The Canes recalled Spencer Martin on Monday morning, and Equipment Manager Jorge Alves slotted in as the team’s second goaltender for morning skate in Vancouver.
“Freddie came up a little gimpy after the game in Seattle,” said Rod Brind’Amour. “I’m not sure exactly the length or how long he’s going to be out. Obviously, we hope his stay won’t be too long, but we’ll have him checked out once we return home.
How The Canucks’ Early Season Win Streak Ended vs. The Hurricanes: 3 Takeaways
The Carolina Hurricanes and Vancouver Canucks are both attempting to evolve their game this season, seeking to raise their championship ceiling by upgrading the quality of their attacking hockey. While the Canucks’ early-season success off the rush has been impressive but intermittent, the Hurricanes have enjoyed enormous success attacking off the rush in the early going.
This was evident in Monday’s game, as Carolina speed-bagged the Canucks for three rush goals in the first and second periods before narrowly holding off a furious Canucks rally in the third period and overtime.
Key takeaways include the reduced ice time for the Pettersson line, the Canucks’ struggles without Quinn Hughes on the ice, and the team’s uncanny ability to mount comebacks, despite ultimately falling short in this instance.
The Canucks may have lost their win streak, but their resilience and the difficulty teams have in defeating them in regulation is a positive sign heading into their next matchup against the New Jersey Devils.
