Andersen likely to make his 16th start of the season PITTSBURGH - Frederik Andersen is expected to be between the pipes for the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday when the team takes on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Looking for his first win since Nov. 6, the 36-year-old is hoping to snap a seven-game skid that's seen him go 0-5-2. A necessary decision after Brandon Bussi played last night, the Canes hope that Andersen can find his rhythm, with Pyotr Kochetkov likely out for the year. In front of him, the Canes are once again expecting to be without stars Shayne Gostisbehere, Seth Jarvis, and Jaccob Slavin. In a season that's already accumulated 168 man-games lost for the team, Gostisbehere is the latest to join the injured list, once again bothered by a lower-body injury.
