The Carolina Hurricanes are experiencing the longest break between playoff rounds in modern NHL history after sweeping Philadelphia and awaiting the outcome of other series. General Manager Eric Tulsky stated that discussions regarding pending UFA goaltender Frederik Andersen will be postponed until after the playoffs, despite Andersen’s impressive postseason performance, winning all eight games and allowing only 10 goals. With Kochetkov and Bussi already under contract, the team has a solid goalie tandem, but they may still consider bringing Andersen back at a lower price. Tulsky expressed a desire to retain Andersen, but the team’s decision will depend on his performance in the upcoming rounds.
