The Danish netminder took part in his first practice with the Carolina Hurricanes since his knee surgery on Nov. 22. What - Game 46 (26-16-3) When - 7 p.m., Friday, Jan. 17 Where - Lenovo Center; Raleigh, NC How to Watch - NHL Network, FanDuel Sports Network South, Scripps, TVAS2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Carolina Hurricanes will look to get back in the win column tonight as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights (29-12-3). Carolina is on a two-game slide after dropping games to both the Anaheim Ducks and Buffalo Sabres. While both losses are tough to swallow, the truth of the matter is that if the Canes just got average goaltending in both games, they'd probably be on a four-game win streak right now. Alas, they're back to the basics of asking how they can get the ball rolling. However, there is some good news on that front as Frederik Andersen was activated off of IR today [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/latest-news/frederik-andersen-activated-off-ir-returns-to-lineup-for-first-time-following-knee-surgery]. The 35-year-old veteran netminder has been out of action since October and had knee surgery in November. He won't start tonight but his return could be big for Carolina. Vegas is coming to town having lost 5-3 to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. The Golden Knights, who had been the hottest team a month ago, are in a small rut, having lost three of their last four, but the team is still just as dangerous as ever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Streaks * undefined Milestone Watch * undefined * undefined * undefined Game Notes * undefined * undefined -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key Matchups Starting Goalies * undefined * undefined Leading Scorers * undefined * undefined Power Play * undefined * undefined Penalty Kill * undefined * undefined -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hurricanes Projected Lineup Jack Roslovic - Sebastian Aho - Seth Jarvis Eric Robinson - Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Martin Necas Andrei Svechnikov - Jordan Staal - Jordan Martinook Juha Jaaska - Jack Drury - Jackson Blake Jaccob Slavin - Brent Burn Dmitry Orlov - Jalen Chatfield Shayne Gostisbehere - Sean Walker Pyotr Kochetkov Frederik Andersen Injuries and Scratches: Dustin Tokarski, William Carrier (LBI), Tyson Jost (LBI), Jesper Fast (neck) Golden Knights Projected Lineup Ivan Barbashev - Jack Eichel - Mark Stone Victor Olofsson - Tomas Hertl - Pavel Dorofeyev Brett Howden - William Karlsson - Alexander Holtz Tanner Pearson - Nicolas Roy - Keegan Kolesar Noah Hanifin - Alex Pietrangelo Brayden McNabb - Shea Theodore Nicolas Hague - Zach Whitecloud Adin Hill Ilya Samsonov Injuries and Scratches: Ben Hutton, Kaedan Korczak, Jonas Rondbjerg, Cole Schwindt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Image [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEyMTgyOTk5MDg3NzIwMDY0/google-news.png] Stay updated with the most interesting Carolina Hurricanes stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
