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.
