Frederik Andersen's story
Growing up in Herning, Frederik Andersen came through a hockey family and the local development system before making his mark in Denmark's top league. His time with Frederikshavn White Hawks from 2009 to 2011 included the uncommon feat of scoring into an empty net in March 2010, a moment that highlighted his puck-handling presence and put him on wider radars.
Selected in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by Carolina and again in 2012 by Anaheim, Andersen spent the 2011–12 season with Frölunda HC in Sweden. He set a club mark for regular-season shutouts, led the league in goals-against average and save percentage, and received recognition as a standout rookie—credentials that paved his way to North American pro hockey.
Andersen debuted in the NHL on 20 October 2013 for the Anaheim Ducks, becoming the first Danish-born goaltender in the league. He worked his way from the AHL into a starting role, posting strong numbers in 2014–15 and reaching 50 career wins faster than most goalies. Traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs on 20 June 2016, he signed a multi-year extension and set or tied franchise marks for wins during his tenure in Toronto.
He signed with the Carolina Hurricanes in July 2021, earning an All-Star selection in 2022 and, alongside Antti Raanta, the William M. Jennings Trophy for allowing the fewest goals in the regular season. Andersen passed milestones including his 500th NHL game and 300th career win, and played a key role in Carolina’s 2026 Stanley Cup run, notching multiple shutouts across the first three rounds.
On the ice, Andersen is straightforward to describe: a positional goaltender who produces high save percentages and has a demonstrated ability to deliver shutouts and long stretches of consistent play. His career traces a steady climb from Danish leagues to Swedish elite competition and ultimately to long-standing roles in the NHL, where he also earned a place in his country’s hockey history.
