6 years agoRemember October? Remember worrying about Frederik Andersen?
The NHL announced their three stars of the month today, and well, can you blame them for their choices? After an ugly start to the year, Fred the Red shone bright like a diamond throughout the month of November and earned the NHL’s second star of the month.
From the NHL’s press release, which you can read here:
Andersen went 9-2-1 with a 2.14 goals-against average, .938 save percentage and two shutouts to guide the Maple Leafs (17-9-1, 35 points) to a 10-4-1 November. He allowed two or fewer goals in eight of his 12 appearances, highlighted by consecutive shutouts Nov. 16 vs. NJD (42 SV) and Nov. 18 at MTL (33 SV). Andersen made 40-plus saves three other times during the month: Nov. 22 at FLA (42 SV), Nov. 24 at CAR (43 SV) and Nov. 30 at EDM (41 SV). The 28-year-old Herning, Denmark, native ranks second in the NHL with 15 wins this season, compiling a 2.76 goals-against average, .919 save percentage and three shutouts (tied for the League lead) in 23 outings.
He is the first Leaf to be named a star this season. Personally, that Montreal game was my favourite, because the Leafs also scored six goals. Fred had just two games with a save percentage below .900 this month, and well, seems like that’s good to me, folks!
Wait until we see what December brings from him!
