WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Carolina Hurricanes are expected to have Frederik Andersen between the pipes on Thursday as they take on the Washington Capitals.

Andersen will be looking to get back in the win column after taking his first loss in over a month on Saturday in Boston. With a 7-2 record in his last nine appearances, the veteran backstop has allowed just 17 goals during the stretch.

In front of Andersen, the Canes are expected to have the same 18 skaters as last Tuesday’s game in Buffalo. Jesperi Kotkaniemi (undisclosed injury) remains out, and Scott Morrow will likely serve as the healthy extra.
