Frederik Andersen Scouting Reports

Andersen returned to the Canes lineup in the late stages of the 23/24 season after battling through a blood clot issue.
He's arguably in the best form of his career.
In his last ten game segment, before playoffs, he faced 268 shots and stopped 255
His record was 9 - 1 - GAA was 1.30 - Save percentage .951
Big in the net - Butterfly style - Generally sound crease composure - rarely gets wandering too far outside his posts / outside the blue paint of his crease
Rebound control is crucial to his success. Not a great second stop / scramble type goalie.
Playing like a top tier #1A heading into playoffs for Carolina.
Past results in playoffs have ranged. Needs only to be average plus to give the Canes a chance to win.

Has struggled, off and on, with injuries over the past several seasons that have limited the volume of games he has played.
Big body. Takes up a ton of net. Butterfly / Positional style. Not exceedingly athletic. Relies on crease presence and positioning. Not the kind of goalie who will scramble a lot to make desperation saves.
Perplexing on many levels. Solid in most categories. Not elite in any one. Save % has ranged, as has his ability to steal games at the most important time of the year - playoffs.
Remains a #1B overall - Looks like a #1A for long stretches.
