Frederik Andersen Re-Signs with Hurricanes for $2.75 Million

The Carolina Hurricanes have signed goaltender Frederik Andersen to a one-year contract extension worth $2.75 million, with up to $750,000 in incentives tied to games played and playoff advancement. Andersen, 35, has been a pivotal player for the Hurricanes, especially during the 2025 playoffs where his performance helped secure a series victory against the New Jersey Devils. The team values his steady presence in net, and General Manager Eric Tulsky cited Andersen's top-10 all-time NHL goalie winning percentage as a key reason for the extension. The contract is considered team-friendly compared to other veteran goaltender deals, and, along with Pyotr Kochetkov’s salary, keeps the Hurricanes’ goalie spending under $6 million. Andersen, who previously played for the Maple Leafs and Ducks, is expected to resume his starting role as the Hurricanes face the Washington Capitals in the next playoff round. His consistent play and recent recovery from injury underscore the team’s confidence in him as they pursue a deep playoff run.
