Frederik Andersen Out Indefinitely for Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes will be without goaltender Frederik Andersen for an extended period due to a lower-body injury, with head coach Rod Brind'Amour indicating it will be 'way longer' than the initially expected week-to-week timeline. Andersen had started the season strongly with a 3-1 record and a .941 save percentage before sustaining the injury on October 26. With Andersen sidelined, the team is also facing challenges as fellow goalie Pyotr Kochetkov is doubtful for the upcoming game against the Ottawa Senators due to an unspecified injury. This situation may require the Hurricanes to recall another goaltender, with Spencer Martin likely to take over starting duties. Additionally, forward Seth Jarvis has been placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, further complicating the team's roster depth. The Hurricanes are navigating these injury challenges as they aim to maintain their competitive edge in the season.
