Hurricanes’ Frederik Andersen set to return for Game 1 vs. Capitals, says coach

The Carolina Hurricanes are back at full strength between the pipes.

Goalie Frederik Andersen is available to return for Tuesday’s Game 1 against the Washington Capitals, head coach Rod Brind’Amour told reporters.

Andersen was injured in Game 4 of Carolina’s first-round series against New Jersey and subsequently missed Game 5, with Pyotr Kochetkov filling in for the double-OT series clincher.

It is unclear which netminder will get the start for the opening game of Round 2.

Kochetkov, who replaced Andersen in Game 4 and stopped 14 of 15 shots, started 47 games this season, winning 27 with a 2.60 goals-against average and a .897 save percentage.

The 35-year-old Andersen missed most of the regular season after undergoing knee surgery in November. He played in just 22 games while sporting a 2.50 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage, but has been stellar this post-season.

Including his shortened Game 4 performance, Andersen owns a playoff-best .936 save percentage and 1.59 GAA en route to helping the Canes to a 3-1 series lead over New Jersey.
