Freddie Andersen Goes Down, Carolina Recalls AHL Goaltender of the Month On Emergency Basis
Freddie Andersen was injured in last night's 7-4 loss to Colorado. It appears to be a lower-body injury on his left side, watch here:
In response, the Hurricanes have recalled highly touted prospect G Pyotr Kochetkov. Kochetkov was a 2nd round draft pick for the Canes & has been absolutely sensational in the AHL. 13-1-1 in 15 games, 2.09 GAA + .921SV% which was good enough for AHL Goaltender of the Month of March.
Andersen's injury could not have come at a worse time, as playoffs are around the corner. He's up there for Vezina consideration even if he's not going to win the trophy. Without him, the Hurricanes will need Antti Raanta and/or Pyotr Kochetkov to step up in a big way.
As it stands, they are slated to play either Washington or Boston in the first round, barring any major shifts in the standings.
