Frederik Andersen sidelined with lower-body injury for Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen is out with a lower-body injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least a week, according to coach Rod Brind'Amour. Andersen was injured after a recent game against the Seattle Kraken. Spencer Martin has been called up from the AHL to serve as the backup for Pyotr Kochetkov, who will take on the starting role while Andersen recovers. Kochetkov is anticipated to receive significant playing time during Andersen's absence. Andersen has played four games this season, achieving a record of 3-1-0 with a 1.48 goals-against average. He has a total of 499 career games in the NHL.
