      Andersen made 35 saves on 39 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 double-overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 2.

      Advice: Andersen has allowed four goals in consecutive contests for the first time all season. He was limited to just 16 regular-season appearances due to injury, so perhaps shifting from that to making six consecutive starts has fatigued the 34-year-old netminder. Overall this postseason, Andersen is 4-3 with a 2.58 GAA and an .899 save percentage through seven outings. Andersen's next chance to rebound would be in Game 3 on Thursday against New York.

    • Gets starting nod
      Andersen will defend the road goal during Game 2 versus the Rangers on Tuesday, Adam Gold of 99.9 The Fan reports.

      Advice: Andersen struggled a bit against New York's potent offensive attack in Sunday's Game 1, surrendering four goals on just 23 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat. The Rangers will undoubtedly continue to be a challenging opponent for Andersen, but Sunday was just the second time the 34-year-old netminder has allowed four or more goals in a contest through 22 regular-season and playoff appearances combined in 2023-24, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him fare better in Game 2.

    • Surrenders four goals in loss
      Andersen stopped 19 of 23 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1 of the second round.

      Advice: Andersen had not allowed more than three goals in any of his 15 games since returning from a blood clotting issue in early March. He'll likely have his hands full with the Rangers, who won the Metropolitan Division and the Presidents' Trophy in the regular season. Andersen is 4-2 with a 2.54 GAA and an .899 save percentage through six playoff contests. He has probably earned the right to start again and attempt to bounce back in Tuesday's Game 2.

    • Guarding goal in Game 1
      Andersen will guard the road net in Game 1 against the Rangers on Sunday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

      Advice: Andersen was superb in the first round of the postseason, posting a 4-1 record with a 2.25 GAA and a .912 save percentage against the Islanders. The Rangers rank fifth in the playoffs with 3.75 goals per contest. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:34 pm
       
    • Punches ticket to next round
      Andersen made 22 saves Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Islanders in Game 5 of the Hurricanes' first-round series.

      Advice: Carolina never trailed in the game as they cruised into the second round. Andersen has a firm hold on the No. 1 job in net for the 'Canes after beginning the playoffs with a 4-1 record, 2.25 GAA and .912 save percentage, but he'll face a tougher test in the next round against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Rangers.

    • Guarding goal in Game 5
      Andersen will patrol the home crease Tuesday in Game 5 against the Islanders, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

      Advice: Andersen is coming off a 32-save effort in a 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday in Game 4. He has stopped 103 of 112 shots en route to a 3-1 record this postseason. The Hurricanes can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Available to play
      DeSmith (lower body) will return to the lineup in Tuesday's Game 5 home matchup versus Nashville, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

      Advice: Per Batchelor, the starting goaltender for the Canucks will be a game-time decision. Due to the absences of DeSmith and Thatcher Demko (knee), Arturs Silovs made his NHL playoff debut in Game 4, stopping 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Predators. If DeSmith doesn't start Tuesday, Silovs will probably be between the pipes. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:50 am
