Andersen's injury to be re-evaluated in a week

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will be re-evaluated in a week for the injury he sustained in Saturday's loss to the Colorado Avalanche, head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Monday, according to Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer.

Andersen was helped off the ice late in the third period after an awkward-looking fall. He'll undergo an MRI, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, but no details have emerged about the injury.

Antti Raanta will start Monday's game against the Arizona Coyotes. Pyotr Kochetkov was recalled from the AHL on Sunday.

Andersen had been sensational this season, cementing himself in the Vezina Trophy conversation with a 35-14-3 record, four shutouts, and a .922 save percentage.

The Hurricanes are currently tied with the New York Rangers atop the Metropolitan Division with 104 points and six games remaining.
