Injury
Carolina will not negotiate a new deal with its 36-year-old goaltender until the postseason ends.
The Hurricanes will hold off on contract negotiations with Frederik Andersen until after the playoffs conclude. Andersen, 36, posted a .874 save percentage over 35 regular-season games this year and has been the team's primary option in goal during the current postseason run.
The delay keeps the focus on Carolina's immediate playoff push rather than roster decisions. Andersen's contract status remains unresolved heading into the next round, but the team's priority is on the ice.
