Frederik Andersen’s Return Sparks Hurricanes Division Title Hunt
March 28, 2024 by Zach Martin
The 2023-24 season has been an emotional rollercoaster for Carolina Hurricanes netminder Frederik Andersen. He was placed on injured reserve (IR) after doctors found a blood clotting issue in his leg back on Nov. 6, 2023. Since then he has missed over 30 games for the Hurricanes as he sought treatment. There was no timetable for his return for most of the season, while some even stated he might not return for Carolina this season. However, by late January there were some rumblings of a possible return for the Danish netminder. Through February, he was practicing progressively with the team with the idea of him returning soon. Once the calendar flipped to March, it was clear the man people call “Zilla” would return to the net and play again. Since his return on March 7, he has been Vezina Trophy-like for the Hurricanes.
