What It Means:

Andersen is coming off his best game of the season as he blanked the Colorado Avalanche, turning away all 38 shots he faced on Thursday. Despite having to play on back-to-back nights, Andersen gets the luxury of playing the NHL's second-worst offense in the Coyotes on Friday. They have averaged only 2.15 goals per game this year.

Our models have Andersen as the 11th-best goalie option Friday with projections of 2.4 goals allowed, 25.9 saves, and a 51.0 percent chance of bringing home the win.
