The Carolina Hurricanes got some good news on Wednesday as goaltender Frederik Andersen has been cleared to resume on-ice activities, the team announced.
Andersen was diagnosed with a “deep-vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolisms” in November.
Since then, Hurricanes president and general manager Don Waddell said that Andersen has been on anti-coagulation medication and has resumed off-ice activities without complication.
Andersen will now begin on-ice conditioning on a limited basis and the team will provide additional updates as the goalie progresses.
“I am thrilled that I’m a step closer to joining my teammates and competing on the ice,” Andersen said in a team-released statement. “I feel grateful for the help and support I’ve received from my family and doctors, as well as the entire Hurricanes organization.”
Andersen owns 4-1 record, a 2.87 goals-against average and .894 save percentage this season in six games. The 34-year-old was also sidelined for nine days in October after taking a puck to the helmet.
Antti Raanta has been the Hurricanes’ No. 1 goalie with Andersen sidelined, and has helped the Hurricanes to a 28-15-5 overall record.
