The Carolina Hurricanes are facing a significant challenge with goaltender Frederik Andersen potentially sidelined for an extended period due to an unspecified injury. Coach Rod Brind’Amour mentioned that surgery could be a possibility, although the team hopes Andersen will be out only on a week-to-week basis.

Additionally, the Hurricanes are missing goalie Pyotr Kochetkov due to a minor injury. To address the situation, Yaniv Perets has been called up to serve as backup. Furthermore, forward Seth Jarvis has been placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.
