Frederik Andersen (born October 2, 1989) is a Danish ice hockey goaltender. He currently plays for the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Andersen was a member of Denmark's national men's ice hockey team that competed at the 2010 IIHF World Championship.[1] He was selected by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 7th round (187th overall) of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Unable to come to terms with the Hurricanes, Andersen was selected in the third round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft (87th overall) by the Anaheim Ducks.

Playing career

On March 13, 2010, he scored an empty net goal in the fourth quarter-final match against Rødovre Mighty Bulls. He nearly scored two nights before in the third match, but missed.[2]

Andersen set a new regular season club record for Frölunda with eight shutouts in 2011–12, surpassing Henrik Lundqvist's seven shutouts from the 2003–04 season.[3] In addition to his shutouts, Andersen also led Elitserien in goals against average and save percentage, and received a nomination for the Elitserien Rookie of the Year award.[4]

On October 20, 2013, Andersen made his NHL debut for the Anaheim Ducks, replacing starting goaltender Jonas Hiller to start the second period. Inheriting a 3–1 deficit, he logged two shutout periods, earning his first NHL win, a 6–3 victory over the Dallas Stars.[5]
