Injury Report: Freddie Andersen to be out until early February or March following knee surgery (return Jan 17)

[Borsig]

the one thing about andersen is you know that it will be another month before he sees a game, if not more. His "take my time" comeback.

I mean he's already skating well on the early size of the projected timetable and we have a 2 week break coming up pretty soon. So it makes sense for him to return after the 4 nations thing.

Well depending on how you define "mid feb" I can say pretty confidently that it won't be mid feb, lol. We have no games between 2/8 and 2/22.

I was watching some videos from Canada. I forget who but someone made the comment that Freddie is probably 3 weeks or more away despite returning to the ice this week.

Doesn't really mean anything, just likely some cap shenanigans. They can backdate this to when he was hurt if they want

Andersen and Tokarski only goalies on the ice at the skate today no kooch. I do remember him looking like he was hurting after that mad scramble in front of the ducks net I believe in the third period

That is so confusing to me.....what are the cap shenanigans specifics on why this approach?

btw: Smith was placed on waivers the other day for a sending down to Chicago but now has cleared and is back up?

edit: per a Walt Ruff post...not cap games but rather to open a spot for Smith.

Ghost re-aggravate something or someone else banged up this time? I was mostly watching on mute on a phone so not sure if I missed someone going out.

 

[Svechhammer]

He's back!

 

[Joe McGrath]

This is a month earlier than I assumed.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

This is going to be a great 6 games before he re-aggravates something

Live look at Freddie


He looks good in a suit

 

[hblueridgegal]

Maybe just the suggestion that he could play will motivate the team.

Nah he makes it through the season plays lights out, goes into the playoffs on a heater and plays like an AHL goalie in the playoffs

 

[A Star is Burns]

Glad to see he was able to get back on the early end of things. I think it's benefical to Kochetkov to have him back and I think he's still the better goalie when healthy.

That’ll put his return right around the playoffs. All according to plan.

After the last 2 months I'll take it.
