The Carolina Hurricanes are dealing with an unspecified injury to goaltender Frederik Andersen that could keep him out for an extended period.

The Carolina Hurricanes are contemplating surgery for Frederik Andersen as a means for the goaltender to recover from his lower-body injury, head coach Rod Brind'Amour announced Saturday.

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen is now out indefinitely, head coach Rod Brind'Amour confirmed.
