RALEIGH, North Carolina: In a week of extensions for the Carolina Hurricanes, goaltender Frederik Andersen is the latest to sign a deal.

Andersen, 35, signed a one-year, $2.75 million extension on May 3.

In a statement, Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky stated, “Frederik has played extremely well for us and ranks in the top 10 all-time for winning percentage by an NHL goalie. We’re excited that he will be staying with the team for next season.”

At the tail end of his current contract, Andersen, a former William M. Jennings Award winner, maintained a 13-8-1 record, 2.50 goals-against average, and .899 save percentage in 22 games with Carolina during the 2024-2025 regular season. In the postseason, Andersen has a 3-1 record, 1.59 goals-against average, and .936 save percentage. The thirty-seventh overall pick in 2012, the Danish netminder became the second-fastest goaltender to 300 wins in NHL history (501 GP), trailing only Andrei Vasilevskiy (490 GP). Andersen has a career record of 308-153-53 with a 2.56 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. In his NHL playoff career, he has registered a 41-31 record, 2.42 goals-against average, .915 save percentage, and three shutouts in 76 appearances with Anaheim, Toronto, and Carolina.

Andersen can earn performance bonuses for playing 35+ games ($250,000), 40+ games ($250,000), and if the Hurricanes reach the Eastern Conference Finals with him playing at least half of the club’s playoff games ($250,000). No trade protections are known at this time.

If there has been anyone trying to will Detroit into the playoffs the last few seasons, it’s been Raymond. Whether you like it or not, asking Raymond to be a near 90-point player at this point in his career is unfair, but he might well do it anyway. After being one of the league’s best […]
