Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen will have a knee procedure and miss about eight weeks of action, TSN reported Thursday.
The procedure was characterized as “not major” and “just a clean-up” in the report, but the timeline would keep him sidelined until mid-January.
Andersen, 35, is 3-1-0 with a .941 save percentage and a 1.48 goals-against average in four starts this season, his fourth campaign with Carolina and 12th in the NHL. His most recent start was on Oct. 26.
The two-time Jennings Trophy winner is 298-128-52 with 27 shutouts, a 2.55 GAA and .916 save percentage in 499 games with the Anaheim Ducks (2013-16), Toronto Maple Leafs (2016-21) and Hurricanes.
Pyotr Kochetkov will continue handling primary duties in net for the Hurricanes with Spencer Martin as a backup.
