Henrik Lundqvist Comments On Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen Turns Heads

The Carolina Hurricanes are one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Final. Carolina has shut down the normally explosive Washington Capitals' offensive attack, limiting Washington's scoring chances.

The Hurricanes have been very impressive in this series so far, and a lot of it has to do with the play from goalie Frederik Andersen. Andersen has been great in the postseason so far, putting up a 1.41 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage.

This has caught the attention of NHL legend Henrik Lundqvist, who praised Anderson for his performance so far.

"The structure within his game is really good," Lundqvist told NHL.com. "I feel he reads the play really well. I think they work well together, the 'D' corps and Freddie in terms how they play odd-man rushes. There seems to be a good understanding of what they're looking to do. They probably have a lot of set rules, but his style, I talked a little bit about it on air. He's a big guy and he keeps his chest upright, so even when he's down in his butterfly he covers a lot of the net. He keeps his glove somewhat low, so I think that's where you can maybe get after him a little bit. He has a good glove hand, but just the positioning."

Anderson has been a catalyst for the Hurricanes' potential upset of the top-seeded Capitals. The veteran goalie has been able to limit the Capitals behind some strong play in front of him as well. 

The Hurricanes have limited the Capitals to just 77 shots on goal in the series, showing impressive form against a tough team. Game 5 between the sides is scheduled to be played on Thursday, May 15, at 7 p.m. ET.
